July 2000 – Present |
Technical officer at the IT Education Unit of the University of Glasgow. |
|
In September 2001, I took up a full time position at the IT
Education Unit at the University of Glasgow, having worked with
the Unit part time during my degree since July 2000. My role in
the department has primarily been involved with building and
maintaining a managed learning environment (MLE) for students at
the University. This system was originally designed as a simple
web-based interface to our existing IT courses but has since
developed into a much broader, more generic system providing
web-based methods to allow tutors to monitor and communicate
with their students. I also take an active role in advising
the Unit on current and future directions for IT. Over the past year I have built and maintain a web-based questionnaire management and analysis system which is currently in use by several departments in the University other than my own. My most recent project has involved building an end-to-end course selection and application system. This has since evolved into a full information management system, allowing staff to perform administrative tasks relating to students, tutors and courses through this system. I have been involved in a conceptual redevelopment of both the departmental website and that of the CITSCAPES research project for which I have also built a searchable web-based resource database. I have also been involved with web maintenance for the Scotia Consortium, of which the IT Education Unit is a member. |

I have written and currently maintain the web site for Strabane Grammar School. This acts as an online prospectus with interactivity provided by a former pupil database. This is available at: http://strabanegs.co.uk/ |
November 1997 – Ongoing |
I have written and maintain my own web site at:
http://lordofthemoon.com Having spent several years working on this website, I consider it to be very important to me, not only discussing topics that I consider important but also showcasing several of my web-related skills, including CSS, accessibility and server-side programming. |

Sales assistant with Mr. Prem Sagar Bhaskar (Self employed) |
| This involved work in market trading, I had to deal with the public on a regular basis in an environment more challenging than is usual in retail. Many customers have unrealistic expectations of the prices of goods available at the market. Reconciling these expectations with the realities of a small business was an often difficult task requiring well developed communications skills and patience. I was also routinely entrusted to keep money until the end of the day. |

BSc Computing Science (Hons), University of
Glasgow: Upper Second Class
My degree course has given me experience in both the theoretical and practical aspect of all sides of computing science. My third year team project involved the development of a medium-scale software system for a real client. This enabled me to develop my teamwork skills considerably, as well as the skill of working to a deadline for a client. These skills were honed during my final year project which involved building a multimedia, database-driven website for the Scottish Allotment and Garden Society. Over the course of my degree, I feel that some of the most important courses that I have been taught have related to software and requirements engineering, HCI and interface design, database design and building and network theory. In 3rd year, I took 9 modular exams and got straight Bs. In 2nd year, I took 12 modular exams (including mathematics), and got 9 As, 2 Bs and one C. In 1st year, in modular exams (including mathematics, physics and astronomy), I got straight As. |
