My third level education began in Dublin's College of Technology, where
I obtained a diploma in electronics. I worked in the electronics industry,
initially in the UK, and then in Ireland.
Later, I returned to full-time study at NIHE, Limerick, where I was awarded
a B.Sc. in electronic systems. Then, as a design engineer, I gained some
experience with microprocessor circuit design, and in particular assembly
language programming.
Following a number of redundancies, I became a Freelance computer programmer.
In 2004, I relocated to Chichester, West Sussex.

Web Site
A brochure site, originally hand-coded in Notepad, as an exercise in
learning HTML. Since then, re-designed with Dreamweaver, using a template
to maintain layout and navigation consistency for the main pages.
The site is a hybrid design, using both tables and CSS for presentation.
The last update achieved code validation for HTML 4.0 Transitional (template-based
pages only). A future update will target XHTML validation.
