PROJECTS COMPLETED :

First Year  : Programming projects in Pascal, statistical work in Minitab.

Second Year : Programming projects in C on text manipulation and binary trees.
              Wrote a ODE solver in FORTRAN as a numerical analysis project.

Third Year  : Designed and implemented a relational database schema.
              Wrote a LAN Teleconferencing application in C for Computer
              Networks; various software engineering and SQL projects.

Fourth Year :
              Details of final-year project::
              The idea for the project originated from work done during May-
              September 1992. Researchers at the university had developed a
              model to characterize the transmission dynamics of the HIV virus
              and its spread from the intravenous drug-using(IVDU) to the
              non-IVDU population (in the Irish context).
              The project involves writing a software package implementing
              this model on a PC, thus making it operable to the non-technical
              user. it is being written in C and will include a Graphical User
              Interface(GUI) and descriptive graphics. A part of the project
              builds on work done during the second year of the degree.


VACATION WORK EXPERIENCE :

June-Sept 1990   Worked as a forecourt cashier and chef in Brighton, England.

1991 :
      June       Worked in Student Services at Dublin City University,
                 implementing a database.
      June       Worked in the marketing division of Dublin City University,
                 actively promoting the new student residences.
   July-Oct      Worked in the Development Office at University College Dublin
                 as a programmer/analyst ::

                 Details : The project was to set up a user-friendly Macintosh
                           based database for the Office. It entailed working
                           on one's own initiative . In summary, the work
                           involved:
                           (i)   researching the database structure;
                           (ii)  studying feasibility conditions;
                           (iii) purchasing a suitable package;
                           (iv)  implementing the system as per the required
                                 conditions;
                           (v)   presenting the system to management, along
                                 with recommendations.
1992 :
   April-Sept   Working for Dublin City University as a computer analyst,
                working in AIDS research being carried out for the AIDS Fund
                and the Society of Actuaries in Ireland. The final-year project
                builds on work done during this period.
                Involves working with raw data relating to clients, which
                implies a high degree of confidentiality. Also entails working
                unsupervised, on one's initiative.
                Most of the analysis strives to obtain inferences and make
                long-term predictions from the raw data , which is drawn from
                the IVDU/non-IVDU population of Dublin. This further entails
                programming and analysis of various parameters, which are then
                used in the computer model developed.

In addition, also have experience of freelance work.
