About Me

I am interested in doing some kind of technical work. I am confident with computers, although my experience is largely limited to PCs. I am teaching myself C++, and am learning how to use Unix (in the form of Linux). I know HTML, and intend, once I have grasped the basics of C++, to learn Java.

During my time at Usher-Walker I particularly enjoyed working as part of a small focussed team.

Though not especially sporty, I do play a bit of tennis and squash. I have even been known to go jogging.

I hope to gain experience of working for a large multinational in the computer industry. I am keen to have employment for my gap year, as I believe that it will enable me to be more focussed on university.

I have a full UK driving licence.
