π I'm a software engineer from the magical land of Pwllheli, where my passion for coding took flight! πOver the years, I've journeyed through a realm of innovative projects, each one adding a new layer to my tech expertise.
The fire for Cronos-X blazed to life when I realized most software companies will just add a simple Content Management System and not a two system solution for web and mobile needs. π₯
To break free from this norm, I conjured a solution with an independent dashboard. This mystical tool not only manages web content but will also wield control over mobile app content. π»
Consider me a dedicated worker, locked onto my goals for Cronos-X with laser-like focus. Let's infuse the code with excitement! π
Embarking on my tech journey at university, I've woven a path through various projects and jobs, each adding a unique stitch to my story. Below is a snapshot of the milestones and challenges that have shaped my tech trajectory. Join me in this condensed timeline of growth, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of innovation. πβ¨
Embarking on a BSc in Cyber Security, I dedicated my academic focus to unraveling technology's intricacies. π For my dissertation, I delved into mobile apps, investigating their role in mitigating human errors in cybersecurity—a pervasive issue. π² This model not only addresses vulnerabilities but also acts as a catalyst for E-Government, optimizing segments of the economy.
Within this realm, my expertise spans Cyber Hacking and Defence, Network Security, Computer and Network Forensics, Database Design, Applications and Management, Computer Networks, Information Assurance, and Secure Software Development. ππ»π‘
I developed a social service tracking app aimed at enhancing worker safety and operational efficiency. Each social worker was equipped with a dedicated mobile device that tracked their location in real-time. For added safety, workers had a distress button to signal potential threats during house visits. ππ±
The app was expanded to include monitoring garbage lorries across the county, providing managers with insights into their progress and efficiency. π I leveraged ArcGIS mapping technology to integrate physical GPS trackers, particularly beneficial for vulnerable individuals. Users could set specific zones, and if a tracker left the designated area, the app would trigger an alert—ensuring the safety and well-being of those being monitored. ππ‘οΈβ¨
I pursued an MSc in Entrepreneurship, investigating economic regeneration strategies in rural economies. π± My research paper specifically explored this area, highlighting how different regions developed their ecosystems to facilitate growth.
In addition, I have expertise in Entrepreneurial Marketing, Accounting & Finance, Innovation Management, Venture Dynamics, and Project Portfolio Management. ππ‘
I previously developed content management systems for websites, utilizing Perch and PHP. π My expertise allowed me to make every section of the website editable for customers, eliminating the need for constant company involvement. π οΈ
Additionally, I successfully created two mobile apps for clients, employing Android and iOS platforms, completing the project as a freelancer. π±πΌ
I worked on a data bridge project, transferring information from CKI's Enterprise Resource Planning system to an external company for a new eCommerce website using SQL queries. However, I didn't stay in this role for long as it didn't align with my long-term expectations and aspirations. The position was unsuitable due to the use of outdated systems and a lack of leveraging my abilities. πβ¨
I worked on Tribal Engage, a social media platform tailored for universities, akin to Facebook. π The platform, accessible via web and cross-platform mobile apps, allowed students to join groups, connect on pages, chat, and submit their work.
My responsibilities included bug fixes, building new features, unit testing, API development, and postman testing. ππ
Over my tenure, the product expanded, welcoming institutions like Kings College London. While this growth limited the chance to build entirely new projects, the experience was enriching. ππ οΈ
