Personal Profile

I am a Web Developer, Graphic Designer and Server Administrator based in the Highlands of Scotland. Through my studies of Computer Science, Graphic Communications, and Physics I have a lot of experience with computers and graphics, and how each of them work. From previous jobs I also have experience in handling money, in POS and admission systems and putting the customers’ needs first.

I studied Physics with a particular emphasis on Computation at Dundee University for two years before taking a break from my studies to work on more practical computing.
