Oscar Norton

Recent GCSE completion with a strong commitment to skill development and professional growth. Demonstrates reliability and motivation, consistently seeking new challenges and learning opportunities. Eager to contribute to team success and enhance personal capabilities. Additionally, I have participated in two lots of work experience at Synoptix Limited, a systems engineering consultancy, and will be serving a third placement for a three-week period in August.

During my first two placements, I had guidance under the Research and Development team, part of the wider Technology department, learning object identification methods via analysis and testing via off site field work. I gained basic knowledge of systems engineering within the defense sector which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I also attended meetings with other apprentices, discussing career paths within systems engineering. Following these discussions, i am keen to pursue a career in cyber security and as a result will be returning for a third placement working with the apprentices within this field. Areas of work I will be participating in are simulated exercises for security incident responses, e.g. hacking, reconnaissance; researching cyber security and National Cyber Security Centre tabletop exercises.

• In my spare time, I enjoy walking my family dog Ralph, cooking, playing golf at Bristol golf centre, and participating in the JDC (Junior Darts Club), watching films, gaming and socialising with my friends.
