Junior Technician

Bespoke-Excel
Manchester
04.2015 - 04.2016

Development work that involved manipulating the 'back-end' of the Microsoft Office program Excel this was done by using the hidden developer tab included in most office programs and coding in a programming language called ‘Visual Basic for Application’(VBA) thankfully I had worked with VB.NET in college so I initiated myself to the language quite quickly and within the first four weeks I was already working on client based projects for the company this helped me feel more like a full team member rather than an apprentice, working on client based work meant that I had to get focused and deliver work to a professional standard also interacting with clients via email as well as the company directors. Whenever a new job would arrive, I would be added to the conference call given the job specification and was tasked to compile the job briefing into a task manager outlining the steps the job would take to be completed. The task manager app we used called Trello was important to the work flow of the company as it was shared meaning everyone in the team could view every job, we had ongoing so it was crucial that the information was concise but informative, whenever the project would advance the task manager would update a progress bar as well as show the deadline helping everyone in the company manage their workloads.

Additional Information

In my free time I also enjoy music composition and try and understand the sequencing, sampling and production that goes into creating a song as a result of this Hip-Hop instrumentals has become one of my favorite genre as it incorporates/samples many forms of music like Jazz, Blues and Rock and Roll. Recently discovered the wonders of EDM and wish I had done so sooner (avid House head).
