I am currently undertaking a B.Sc. (Bachelor Honours Degree) in Computer Applications at Dublin City University. My interests include web development, virtualization, networking, and system administration.
I offered assistance to various first year students doing Java. Along with this I marked their lab work and assignments.
As mentor it is my job to assist attendees with any problems or questions they might have.
I help with the maintaince and improvement of Summerhill's computer system on request and when problems arise. I was involved with migrating the computer system from Ubuntu to Windows XP and as of last year Windows 7.

During Transition year in Summerhill College I went to DM Computing. They offer various IT services to business around the Sligo area. This experience was very hands-on; I was given tasks such as virus removal or operating system reinstallation to do by myself. I also assisted some of my colleagues with work they were doing within the office. A big part of the job was shadowing the technicians with on-site work of their client’s computer systems.
Mobile web application that supplies easy access to DCU timetables.
The application is based on AngularJS. It sends a JSON request to our API, our API will return the users timetable if its cached otherwise, it sends a request to DCUs servers for a iCal file which it parses, caches and then returns to the user.
The application can be found on the play store.
