Summary
I am an enthusiastic programmer, particularly when adapting and monitoring networks, and take great pleasure in seeing both the physical and digital results.
Another area of interest is designing from concept through to prototype production of printed circuit boards.
I have an analytical mind which enables me to be effective when problem solving or fault finding and am effective whether working individually or as part of a team.
