Interests

Being at the forefront of technology is a major interest of mine. Throughout my life I have wanted to stay up to date, which is what prompted me to read Engineering at university – I want to take a role in the constantly evolving world of science & technology. I also have a keen interest in the business world and I took business economics as part of my third year university studies. Also, I have taken my interest in business into account during my self employed iPhone application development. This has not only enabled me to develop business & marketing skills, but has also enhanced my self motivation and project planning skills. I have been able to successfully develop, launch and support an application alongside other work which has proven that I can take on extra responsibilities.

I also enjoy travelling and after leaving university I embarked upon a ten month trip around Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Singapore. In Canada I worked for WhistlerBlackcomb ski resort at a mountain restaurant and was promoted after the first day of work to lead hand cashier. This has given me leadership experience and I believe I have benefited greatly from not only the job, but also the experience of travelling for an extended period of time in foreign countries.

In addition, I enjoy playing pool, snooker and the guitar and I had a key role in forming a band. We recorded our own CD at a local recording studio and performed at local events.
