No formal education outside of high school.

Network administrator for a medical device company with approximately 1500 employee's

I started my interest in computers back in 2001 and have since devoted my life to it.

Still so much to learn, but I never have a boring or average day.

Working as a IT Senior Technician for the trade branch of a foreign government. They have offices globally and I get to travel which is a huge perk.

I have a BSc in Computer Science which i completed back in 2001 and am now in the process of obtaining my MCSE qualification!

Digital Projects Manager (I'm taking over as head of technology in June though - hence the company car mentioned in the other thread). It's more interesting than it sounds....I get to run all the web projects we have. On my current big project I have 5 outsourced teams (2 UK, 1 in Germany, 2 in India) to manage as well as our in-house team of designers, developers and account managers. Then there are always mini-projects cropping up that require delegating to account managers and developers.

My last job was a senior developer (before that developer, designer, junior developer) so it's quite challenging compared to that. As a developer you are exposed to a degree of project management in the course of your job, but it's only when I moved full-time to project management that I encountered the intricacies of budgets, finance departments, scheduling, outsourcing, resource allocation, mentoring, coaching, personal dispute solving and supplier issues. Oh and the sheer lack of co-operation people give you if they feel they have been left out of a process. It is not my fault if the client only decides you are useful to the project at the last minute lol, but I still have to appease them.

I notice a few people are saying they are out of work, so in case anyone is interested I am looking for a digital account manager in North Manchester, UK. PM me for details if interested.

Post Doctoral Fellow at the U.S. Army Research Lab - Weapons and Materials Research Directorate - Survivability Materials Branch

I'm currently researching new methods of hybridization of dissimilar materials (metal, ceramic, polymer composite... essentially more of this) for personal body armor and helmet technologies.

Qualifications:

B.S. Ceramic & Materials Engineering, Clemson University 2004
Ph.D. Materials Science & Engineering, Georgia Tech 2009

My dissertation led to powder processing and sintering enhancements of silicon carbide armor ceramic. I created a method to obtain the hardest silicon carbide on the market.

The joys of doing what I do are numerous: I have a patent application forthcoming (although I don't own any of it, name recognition only... the joys of doing all your work under someone else's dollar and machinery). I've had my 3 seconds of fame on Modern Marvels when the came to do a piece on my professor's new armor company (Verco Materials) as I was in the shot for yeah... about 3 seconds. I was born on an Army base and lived Army all the way to my high school years, so being on the inside again feels like home.

I'm a Claims Data Analyst for an Insurance Broker, only 3 A Levels and de facto office tech support! [rofl]

Basically I put into pretty little tables and graphs claims that various companies have had in various coverages.

Such as telling "oil company" that for each of the past 5 years they've had so many EL/WC claims that cost them this much and it was due to the following causes.

Most of it's sucking eggs for clients but they love graphs and shiny colours [rofl]

Space Track Analyst

What it sounds like really, I track things in space. I work at a missile defence radar, defending the USA from potential missile attacks from across the Atlantic. As you can imagine there arn't to many missile's so its more space surveilence work.

Was in corrections for quite awhile and got tired of it. I have my AAA in Criminal Justice Law Enforcement and also an AAA in Criminal Justice Corrections. I am attending Ferris state university and I am currently working on a BS in Criminal Justice (gen). I will have that completed by this time next year and if I can't find employment right away I am going to work on my MA in Criminal Justice.
