Irvine, Scotland, United Kingdom

Analysed existing software solution to build a development strategy and roadmap to aid the owning electrical engineer with his software development for CO2 Analyser products for lab conditions. This involved full collaboration with the owner in identifying his roadblocks and how he could cost effectively move forward with his embedded system. He had been involved with a lot of contractors that didn't provide a product or strategy that worked in his current setup so cost was a key concern. The small company has since continued to sell and develop their products whilst expanding their range of support and maintaining a competitive development and repair business.

Glasgow, United Kingdom

I worked on a game called Celtic Heroes that is currently available on the App Store for all iOS devices.I have done technical support for the players in the game. This involved management of all their account/s details and ensuring they have an enjoyable experience. This involved dealing with player to player issues, bugs and feedback, security management and any issues relating to premium purchases. I have also done development on the support tool used for this customer support using a C# form front end and MySQL back end. This involved developing an object orientated approaching to managing the large volumes of data and providing a user friendly solution for non-technical personnel in the company. I worked with the Lead Developer making GUI's and working with the game engine to port our project to a more manageable codebase. This used C# with 3rd party libraries and tools for multi-platform distribution.My time on support tool development was building a fully featured chat log reporting module that allowed the support worker to query any period and any players logs with an in-view cross comparison with other players. I was also involved in general maintenance of the tool and fixing outstanding/ongoing bugs.I was also involved in setting up data mining information that integrated with the server to provide an analytic overview of player trends for a set period of time. This was aimed at user retention and responding more directly to gameplay habits and bugs.

From Home

I was the lead iOS App Developer. I was responsible for project management and development. This included learning and programming in Obj-C, graphical design with interaction and organising all project components.

I worked at Asda in Ayr to fund my learnings and allow me to live the dream of games development. I worked on the checkouts and used good conversational skills to provide the customers with a great customer service and I aided them in any request they may have. My training allowed me to work on checkouts as an operator and a supervisor, I also monitored and maintained the self scan checkouts repairing any errors that may occur with the hardware and assisting the customers as required.I received several 100% scores for my customer service skills based under ASDA's warm and friendly service criteria. I also received 4 awards for the ABCD (Above and Beyond the Call of Duty) criteria for providing customers with extra help that is out with my job's specific tasks.I feel that no matter the workplace I strive to improve myself and do the best possible job I can for the challenges that occur on a daily basis. I find the experiences I gained there is a great asset to me and has allowed me to grow in life experience as well as professionally.
