CV

Born: 20th March 1977

Location: Brighton & Hove

I am currently working as a freelance web developer in the Brighton & Hove area.

After finishing school, I found work primarily as a PC hardware technician – build, installation and repair to a commercial standard. Returning back to academia to study archaeology in 2000 was a breath of fresh air, but ultimately dovetailed with my previous computer background when I started working at the ADS.

After living, studying and working in York for over 5 years, I have recently moved back to the South Coast where I hope to continue working as a software developer.

I have a good technical aptitude which enables me to learn new skills fast. Although I favour the Java programming language I have dabbled in C++/C#, Perl, Pascal and am competent developing websites using PHP and ColdFusion. The following list is a summary of my primary skills:

Competent Java developer:

EE5, JPA/JDBC, EJB 3, JSF, Struts/Tiles etc.

Advanced Oracle SQL:

including Spatial, Text

Web development/design:

JSP, PHP, (X)HTML, CSS, AJAX/Javascript

Web services:

SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, JAX-WS (Metro), Axis
