About Me
Hey, I'm George, a 21 year old student from Bournemouth currently studying BSc (Hons) Web Development at Southampton Solent University. I'm currently on level two of the course and have now secured a work placement from May2010 for a year with an agency based in Poole, Dorset.
I have always been interested in technology from an early age, and after completing a BTEC National Diploma For IT Practioners at Brockenhurst College I was sure that I wanted a career in the exciting world of computing, but more specifically, web development.
Despite the fact I'm still learning, I feel that I've managed to develop a great skills set - being able to design attractive websites and also develop the back-end code and databases to power a dynamic website. My portfolio shows a selection of my work.
I'm head of web at Radio Sonar - meaning I'm responsible for the design, production and maintenance of the Radio Sonar website and our social networking presence.
I've had the privilege of working with a variety of people and organisations all from different backgrounds, which has given me some great experience. I am always on the lookout for a new challenge and enjoy pushing myself to solve new problems.
Originally born in the outskirts of London, I'm now living on the south coast just outside Bournemouth. However, during term time I can be found living in the centre of the lively city of Southampton.
Away from the computer I actively enjoy mountain biking, which is great with the New Forest just down the road. The exciting, adrenaline pumping sport of kiteboarding is another passion of mine which I thoroughly enjoy.
