Personal Information
Interacting with industrial companies through the ISA has allowed me to work with business entrepreneurs and learn lots of skills on how they operate. The KBC staff provide very good support, developing a strong team working environment all through the different projects I have worked on. The biggest reward, as always, comes on seeing a client's satisfaction in using the product as an integral part of their business activities.
Prior to joining the doctoral program at Lancaster University I had strong experience in industry working as a software consultant, as well as lecturing experience teaching numerous undergraduate courses. I have been exposed to different functional areas where I have contributed as an integral part of a development team as well as strengthening my business acumen. Overall I have achieved my main aim of developing a skill-set to complement my technical expertise in delivering business improvements for clients.
I am currently engaged on a post-doc in the School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University.
