• I.T. Support Technician

  Boston Scientific Ireland

  (Public Company; 501-1000 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)

  January 2002 — December 2002 (1 year )

  My role in Boston Scientific was to help with the support for the IT department. This was a great role to be in as it gave me a complete oversight into the running of an efficient IT dept.
  
  It was a very challenging position due to the fact that I had to be able to do everything from installing new PCs onto the network to configuring routers to setting up phone systems.
  
  There was no typical day here. One day I could be giving a training induction to a group of people and the next I could be crimping cables. It was a great opportunity to put into practice everything I had learned after College.
  
  Roles included:
  PC setup and maintenance, Phone Installation and setup, Using Applix for job tracking, training new recruits, router configurations.

• Freelance Web Designer

  Self-employed

  (Self-Employed; Myself Only; Information Technology and Services industry)

  September 1999 — December 2001 (2 years 4 months)

  I started doing simple HTML sites for friends and family. I steadily increased my skills and adapted my knowledge to the fast pased changed in web standard and technologies.
  
  This work gave me a perfect grounding in web design and development which made me an ideal candidate for Dragnet Systems when I joined in 2003.
