November 1994 – March 1998
Computer/Database Programmer
Working for a subsidary of Associated British Foods, Weston Research Laboratories Ltd, I was a computer programmer.
Using Paradox, I wrote various database applications to support the running of various parts of the Laboratory.
I got my first experience of creating a wide area network, by implementing a WAN over ISDN lines as a remote site, as well as installing cabling throughout the building. I provided help and support for Windows applications, including working out how to implement roaming desktops in Windows 3.11.
I got my first experience of Report Writing using Crystal Reports during this time, with one of my most significant achievements being reducing nearly 30 different reports into just one dynamic crystal report.
