About
Ok then what would you like to know about me...
Currently I am talking a year out from studies at Loughborough University to complete a year of profession studies at Andalucia Web Solutions at the Estepona office in the Costa del Sol, Spain.
At Andalucia Web Solutions I am involved with the continued development and maintenence of the Andalucia.com tourism portal. This role requires me to add and edit content, manage the maintenence of advertisement and create the monthly electronic newsletter.
After I have completed my placement at Andalucia Web Solutions I will be returning as a finalist at Loughborough to complete my Computing and Management degree.
The Computing and Management course covers many aspects of computer programming, database design, team work, business studies, accounting, marketing and work place psychology.
My interests in computing include - Web 2.0 and user-generated content, database design, Content Management Systems (CMS), Really Simple Syndication (RSS), and business systems.
It is my hope that shortly after January 2008 I will have identified a final year project title which includes many of my computing interests.
