I am a 4th (final) year student at the University of Limerick in Ireland. I am studying for a degree in Information Technology & Telecommunications, a new course created for the need for IT professionals with a Telecom bias. I enjoy the course immensely and I am very interested in the industry as a whole as reflected in my Final Year Project - A data Visualisation tool for the Internet using Virtual Reality Markup Language (VRML).
From February-August 1995 I was on Co-operative Education placement at WiSO (Business Informatics) in the University of Dortmund, Germany. While there I authored a Multimedia Computer Based Training Program (CBT) on Neural Networks using Multimedia Toolbook and other software such as Adobe PhotoShop (Image manipulation) & Adobe Premire (Digital Video editing & effects) , Autodesk 3D Studio (3D Graphics & Animation) etc.
I have been interested in computers since my early teens and have used many systems including IBM Compatible PCs, UNIX Workstations & Terminals, Apple Macintosh and Amiga.
I have programmed on all these platforms in a variety of languages e.g. C, Modula 2, BASIC and REXX (OS/2 & Amiga). Since acquiring an Amiga several years ago I have developed a very strong interest in Multimedia particularly Digital Video especially MPEG and the World Wide Web.
I am the chair person of Campus TV and also help operate the 'Student Information System' in my University.
I have also had work experience at RTE (Radio Television Eire - Ireland) and with WANG computers also in Limerick Ireland. I enjoy working as part of a team and enjoy a challenge. If you have any queries or feel you could use my skills please do not hesitate to contact me.
