The winning design would be used by Art Gateway for their Corporate Identity and the student would become part of the Art Gateway Project team and gain a 2% share for life in the company’s business profit each month commencing September 2008 – I won this competition and have been working for Art Gateway ever since.

Web Developer
Andronics Ltd.
(Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing industry)
May 2007 — September 2007 (5 months)
I worked with Andronics for 4 months as a Web Developer. I was employed by Andronics to help with the transition from MSSQL server to MySQL, and from the old table based website layouts to a new dynamic CSS layout, which I would design. I was responsible for updating their ‘Utility Eye’ product website with new ‘Mimic’. I also created the graphics for the updates, using Photoshop.
Andronics had given the opportunity to re-design their whole Utility Eye website. Over my final 2 months working for the company I worked on the new dynamic CSS layout for the website, along with the PHP coding and MySQL backend. I gained some experience using AJAX and EXTJS on a basic level. Besides my CSS and PHP work, I also worked on some promotional multimedia for Andronics, such as their Flash banner on the Leocate website. -

I worked on multimedia projects such as a full graphic design/corporate branding/visual identity for the SFF engineering team. My department manager was a Director of an Irish based international charity organisation called ‘Power 4 Good’, I was nominated by Intel to design do their branding as an ‘Intel Involved’ project – the design is now being used throughout their communications and has since been copyrighted by the charity.
Other graphic design projects included designing a software product icon for an application the team developed called ‘H2O – handheld office’. I developed an ASP database driven news based website for intel handheld users worldwide, the website can be access internally globally from the URL of http://handheld.intel.com. The website was programmed using VBscript and runs off a SQL Server database. The site incorporated the key components of that a news website required.
