Over the last few years my focus has moved from support activities more towards development tasks as I have taken on additional tasks that have allowed me to learn new skills in JavaScript and Angular development and put those to use to help the company.In addition to this I was among the first to nominate myself to get involved with cloud computing taking on the challenge to get certified in the use of AWS. Since then I have achieved the Cloud Practitioner and Cloud Architect Associate certificates and am currently working through the Security Specialy for AWS course.In addition to the AWS certificates I've developed two applications for the cloud, one of which was built to take full advantage of the serverless services available on the platform.

Last year I undertook a third year "Placement Project" module in which I was required to take on a project from a client which required me to design and implement an upgrade to the clients database including normalization and the introduction of a number of queries.In addition to the design work I produced a report explaining the work which I had done on the database and detailing any aspects of the database upgrade which the client had suggested would be desirable but that I was unable to implement.In second year I worked hard to achieve good passes in all modules and returned a number of pieces of work which I am proud of, including reports in Business Networks & Business Systems Provision and design work for Web Development and Database Design.
