I was hired for the summer during having completed my degree in Computer Science before returning to go on to the honours year. At the end of the summer vacation I was offered a contract position which I decided was probably more value that than going back for honours year. During the two year period I became manager of the IT support team covering the Piper Redevelopment Project. This team grew from being myself to a team of 5. My responsibilities included all project team computer systems including AS400 and all PC. Installation of IBM token Ring network and connection of remote sites, including dive support vessels in the North Sea.
