Professional Experience :

Jun 1999 – Sept 2000          Dell Computer Corporation                 Raheen, Limerick

 

Validation Technician:

§         Over this period of time I worked as a Validation Technician, testing localised developments which were being designed for different operating systems. These Operating Systems included Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Linux, as well as other Readyware products, which were shipping on Dell systems.  I was working in a team environment where any problems discovered were reported to the Development Engineers, this ensured a cooperative structure between development sectors. The testing consisted of safeguarding against invalid configurations being shipped to the customers, and ensuring the reliability of the software developed.

 June 1998 – Feb 1999          Dell Computer Corporation                 Raheen, Limerick

Co-operative Education :

§         While on placement for Co-operative Education I was working in the Software Development Department of Dell Computer Corporation. During this time period I was introduced to the Development system, which is used in Dell, and became familiar with all the processes involved in working in a sucessful International IT Company. Over the course of my placement I was given different projects to work on and to test localised software developed for Dell systems. In working on these projects I honed my skills, and developed new ones. I was required to work on my own initiative and have a logical approach to problem solving, which I was able to do. In one project I adapted a particular tools package used in the department, this involved learning the intricacies of complete system.I also learned shell scripting and the registry details of Windows 95 and NT and how they are adapted in software installations..
