Albert Cornelissen’s Summary

The broad field of information technology interests me immensely. I've been involved with computers and IT since 1995. In this time I've gained skills in the fields of web development, hardware and networking, as well as system administration. I have also dabbled with various programming languages.

I've gained a few formal qualifications. I am Comptia A+ and N+ certified as well as Microsoft Certified (MCSA). I also have an incomplete year of BSc Computer Science.

I do, however, enjoy the analysis and design side of things much more, so I decided to change my direction of study. I obtained my BA in Socio-Informatics in 2007, and am currently doing my Hons BA in the same direction.
