Return to Top About me I have an extensive amount of experience with ICT in many forms. I began using computers at the age of 6 years, and am experienced in the use and confiugration of the Macintosh environment, The MS Windows Operating systems, DOS and several Unix based operating systems including Linux. I also have experience in configuring and running a web server. My home computer runs an Apache Webserver and hosts several pages, including an application to stream webcam. In addition to this I have set up and maintained web servers for friends that have wanted to host their own sites. This had led to me developing a knowledge not only of the Apache Web Servers but also of Microsofts Internet Information Services. I am also experienced in Networking and have some experience in maintaining network security, I gained this through experimentation on several networks in order to enhance my understanding of where network security flaws lie. Through use of the NESSUS security scanner I am now able to identify potential security risks, and then manually correct them. Through the study of ICT and the maintenance of a simple Peer to Peer network at home I also understand the theories underlying networking including Optimal Network Topologys. I regularly configure and maintain an IP-Tables based software firewall by hand, and am also developing a knowledge of sendmail mail servers. Through the developement of a variety of different servers I have gained an understanding of the need and use of Port Forwarding on NAT Firewalls. I also have a basic knowledge of programming, I can create simple programs in languages such as Javascript, Java, C, and BASIC. At the age of 12 I wrote a simple internal email system in the QBASIC language. Although It was incredibly limited, I still feel however that at the age of 12 this is quite a feat. The documentation for this can be found in the ICT section fo this portfolio. Alongside my skills in HTML I have also developed some very basic skills in the PHP script language. Through use of a Linux Operating system on my home machine I have also developed shell scripting skills including the BASH and CSH languages. Through use of the Windows operating system I have become quite experienced and efficient at removing Malware ranging from Viruses to Spyware. I can use Registry editors to disable the program from starting, and in some cases have written DOS Batch files to remove the offending program at the next restart. I am also developing an interest in Digital photography including Landscapes and Still life. Return To Top Return To Top The Future I have always felt that the working environment most suited to me is one with a large use of computers involved. In this way I can bring the knowledge that I have to the work place, and hopefully also develop skills in new areas of computing. From the age of six I have always had a keen interest in computing technology, both hardware and software. Hopefully in the future I will be able to work in a secure stable environment where both I and my employer may benefit from my work. I am currently
trying to develop a knowledge of programming using Mono which is the
open source implementation of Microsofts .Net framework.
