Profile
A self-motivated, reliable and honest Software Engineering student with fifteen months experience as a

day to improve both as a person and as a developer.

Dedication – Dedication is one of my stronger assets, and is shown through my punctuality and willingness to
do additional hours at my job. This is part of the reason for me being asked by a manager at Sainsbury’s to
return for a second time as a part-time employee.
Team Work – I had to work in a group for a module at university, where I had to meet deadlines and complete
a mobile application accompanied by a report. As team leader, this meant I had to make sure members were
completing work and helping those who required it. The team work here was demonstrated by the 1 st class
grade I received.
Problem Solving – My problem solving ability improved a lot especially throughout my placement year where
the various projects I was involved with required problem solving skills, for example developing a way to
update handheld scanner applications from a remote location.
Field Experience
Placement Software Engineer: NSK Europe (2014-2015)
For fifteen months I was the placement student at NSK Europe where my duties were to primarily develop and
maintain software for a warehouse using C#, ASP.net and Microsoft SQL Server.

the league to a Facebook using the Graph API.
