- Tell me a bit about yourself. - Certainly.
Well, I completed my secondary education at CBC, four years ago.
I took the maths and technology stream of studies.
I'd always been interested in IT and started doing freelance programming while I was at secondary school.
So, when I finished school I worked for a year with a group of friends on various IT projects
– a mixture of Web design, systems administration and programming –
before doing a BSc in computer science at City University.
During the course we studied a bit of everything: relational databases, Web animation, Web graphics ...
um, ... PHP, Visual Basic, Java and C++, and we got a bit of experience with Unix.
The degree is definitely an excellent grounding in current systems and tools.
I found that it really complemented the practical experience I already had.
In fact, I think that having that experience allowed me to get a lot more out of the course.
So now I'm looking for an opportunity to put what I've learnt into practice,
in the context of a dynamic, forward-thinking company like this one.
