Nicola O.

I am a Mechanical Engineering Graduate with a commitment to learn and expand my experience in the development of innovative and creative software solutions. Able to perform full software development life cycle duties. In the summers spent working as an engineering assistant to a Civil Engineer, who specialized in the analysis, design, and assessment of high-density developments across both rural and industrialized regions, I was involved in working with many companies and assisting them with taking their R&D projects through from initial concept to commercialization. I, as his assistant, got firsthand experience of being involved in the planning, development of construction projects. On a more subject-specific level, I can understand programming beyond the constraints of the syntax, and also comprehend the logic behind how you should implement solutions to computing problems. I am also a person with a serious and focused attitude to my work, but with a relaxed attitude. This trait helps me to deal with frustrating problems like computer bugs and making programs work properly. I understand that once you write and compile code, you must make it work properly, account for every situation, and possible user input. All of this can only really be done with a positive and composed mindset. Over the summer months, I have broadened my knowledge of programming by working as an intern for BlueScope. I have expanded my knowledge of Java, PHP, WordPress, JavaScript and HTML to a much further level during the internship. The time spent in the company made me proficient in debugging programs and broaden my level of expertise in data handling and graphic user interface.
