Willow Road, Lenton, Nottingham, NG7 2WS, United Kingdom

Position: Online Store Developer, UK Direct Sales

Salary: £19,750

Summary: In this role I was principally responsible for developing and maintaining Games Workshop's online stores.

In addition, I provided database and development support to other web teams around the business.

Zurich Financial Services
UK Life Tower, Montpellier Drive, Cheltenham, GL53 7LQ, United Kingdom

Position: Trainee IT Developer, Atlas Project

Salary: £13,750

Summary: My time at Zurich was spent working on the Atlas project, an initiative to replace the Actuarial systems in use at that time with one that would reduce by a factor of three the time taken to process six gigabytes of raw data every month.

I was primarily responsible for designing and implementing the SQL scripts and database artifacts used during the initial raw data manipulation and database population that took place each month. I created and tested the schedule that automated this process and produced procedures for using the scheduling system with PC servers that are now in use throughout the company. I also designed and programmed a number of software components using modern object–orientated techniques. A significant contribution I made was to design and implement an online project documentation system utilising a web front end to database tables.

At all stages intensive cooperation with other members of a small team was essential and I was required to thoroughly test and document my work. I also spent some time working with the end–users of the system.
