About

I am a Third year student at Kingston University studying Computer science. I consider myself to have a broad range of IT skills ranging from java, C++ programming to HTML, PHP and Javascript to first line desk support which I have gained on work experience in the IT department of Guildford Borough Council and at Clyde and Co solicitors. I have developed good communication and teamwork skills through work by having regular liaison with colleagues and customers. I also learnt a lot about deadlines, importance of teamwork by working in a project environment for my Industrial Placement at the Metropolitan Police.

Practical IT Experience

University Project

Our task for the Design Workshop module was to turn the CISM diary we are issued with at the start of each year into a "paperless diary" application that can be used on mobile devices. The application was created using HTML code and a CSS style sheet. The CISM diary consists of information for students to help them with their studies and helps to keep students organised by having a yearlong day by day diary. By using HTML I turned this into an application which suits the "mobile" generation

I worked as a Junior Business Analyst on the Command and Control Futures Project. My duties included facilitating requirement workshops to identify requirements for the new system. The main piece of work I conducted was creating the conceptual model for the whole system, it was a complex task as I had to take into account the old system, the new requirements from the workshops and the rules and governance set by the Metropolitan Police in regards to Conceptual Modelling.
