About Me
What I do
I have worked at Ingenta for over 6 years in various roles. I started as a Web developer where I expanded my knowledge building and designing web sites. I moved into QA for 6 months where I developed an understanding of quality testing of system performance. I then became a Software developer where I built up a knowledge of Perl, Mysql and XML where I later moved into managing the Internal Tools team where I have built tools, in Java, to be used by the Content Services department. Today, I am currently working on developing J2EE systems for our publishing clients where I will be working on OECD's third website platform migration. I hold a BSc Hons degree in Computer Science.
Why
I went for the safe option and did a degree, Computer Science, that would more or less guarantee a job! Ingenta were employing at the
time I was looking for a job not long after Uni and Oxford was a city that I liked since I was familiar with the place
based on my previous employment.
Lame claim to fame
