I work at FEA (FE Associates) as an MIS Consultant where I support colleges with their technical reporting and development requirements.

I write SQL queries, views, table-valued functions and procedures using SQL Server Management Studio from a variety of different data sources and design and deploy SSRS reports to a Reporting Services Server.

I also develop web-based applications using C#, JavaScript, jQuery which link to databases for data storage and retrieval and integrate new and existing systems to the main College Management Information System.

I have held similar roles in colleges, universities and schools for the past 11 years and have also taught on foundation degrees and HNDs in computing and hold a PGCE qualification.

I also maintain Linux (Ubuntu) web servers on a private cloud, writing bash scripts and develop and host responsive websites for different organisations such as https://www.metrocentreautoworld.co.uk and http://www.imageworksne.co.uk. For more information please visit https://www.rwsservices.net

In my spare time I enjoy cycling, gaming on the Xbox One/PS4 and learning about new technologies.
  • Interests: Website development, testing beta software and cycling
