About Me

As a final year student, my main ambition is to gain formative and productive experience in the IT & computing industry. I hope to bring a dedicated and positive work attitude to any organisation and perform at my highest level.

Experienced in these disciplines I am always looking to expand my skillset through academic or non-academic fields, this includes expertise outside of computing including music production, graphic design and video editing.

Work Experience

FAST Technologies - Automation Engineer

Completed with local business FAST Technologies, my project undertaken during four months as part of industry experience with the North West Regional College was to implment, update and analyse efficency data for palletising software Pally. (Image above a close representation)

Using what is known as the Teach Pendant, the objective was to ascertain if Pally would be a suitable palletising software that could be implmented to business customers. The UR (Universal Robots) development interface is a GUI utilising Python so gave me valuable experience when developing and testing the product.

FP McCann Ltd - Student Systems Administrator

Completed with mid-ulster based business FP McCann Ltd, my primary responsibilities in this role were to optimise, maintain and deliver competent IT support and deliver this across all sites associated with the company.

Encompassing all NI and GB site infrastructure, I delivered this support on a daily basis within a full-time office based role, this included help desk support by phone, e-mail and OsTicket systems.
