                  both assist my co-workers with the software needed to perform 
                  their jobs as well as developing software as required. To

                  My role consists of ranking and evaluating web pages in the 
                  context of given queries, and ranking them according to 
                  criteria set forth by Google. In order to perform the role 
                  I use my excellent researching skills along with the ability
                  to analyse unfamiliar topics quickly and accurately.

                  I was responsible for processing returned stock and repairing

                  residential clients; this includes developing a couple of 
                  websites. The income from these services is very modest and 
                  not sustainable in the long term, but has allowed me to 
                  continue working on a number of avenues of further personal 
                  research topics (i.e. XML/XSL, SQL, PHP, LDAP, Linux, C++ game

                  which I rebuilt from its original form using HTML and CSS. I

                  of the system as well as training them on its usage.
