My computing skills are constantly improving and being worked
on.
| Subject | Competence |
|---|
| Operating Systems | I am a highly proficient Windows user, mostly
with XP but also with Windows 98.
I am a competent Linux and UNIX user and have some experience with
Linux administration. |
| Scientific Type-setting and Editing for
Publication | I am an advanced user of the
LATEX typesetting system and have used it for
papers, presentations, posters and journals. I have provided
introductory and more advanced talks on the subject for the Durham University Computing
Society and Linuxbierwanderung. |
| Proprietary software | In my work I have gained experience and
proficiency with a range of systems, including:
- Forbidden
Technologies' software, both for use and for customer
demonstration, including FORscene, FORupload, FORingest and the
FORmobile player on a range of platforms.
- Oracle Financials, including the Applications Desktop Integrator
- The Cyborg Personnel system
- The Kubernesis Accounts package (designed for charitable groups)
- EMIS, a patient data system
One of my main strengths is an ability to adapt to new software
rapidly and efficiently. |
| Engineering Software | I have experience with engineering-related
software including:
- Solidworks (both 2003 and 2004);
- FLUENT 6.1 and accompanying GAMBIT;
- COSMOS
|
| Web Authoring | I
comfortably hand-write HTML and XHTML, using cascading stylesheets
(CSS), to comply with all specifications. I also put Accessibility to
the forefront of my priorities when writing webpages. I have some
experience using PHP, using it both with PostGresQL and MySQL
databases to create web interfaces to databases, and as a simple
template for pages. |
| Programming | As
an undergraduate I obtained good marks while studying Fortran. I also
have a very limited experience of using Perl. |
