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.
