Personal Statement

I'm currently in my 4th year of Computer Science in DIT, majoring in Enterprise Systems Development. I have a keen interest in Data Analysis and Natural Language Generation. I am currently working on a final year project which will be a system for operational reporting in a target driven work environment. I’m also currently holding the position of Treasurer in DIT’s DJ Society, where I look after a budget of over €8,000 as well as various other responsibilities. I have a passion for music, both creating my own and performing as a DJ. This year I’m also participating in the LEAD module in DIT which aims to recognise and award credit to the important learning that takes place outside the confines of formal academic study, in particular the personal and professional skills developed by undertaking a leadership role over a sustained period of time. I maintain a personal blog where I write about various interests of mine including mindfulness, spirituality and music. I also write articles whenever I come across new or interesting technology or applications of existing technology. When I finish my degree, I will be looking for work in the field of Software Development but I also have intentions to travel before settling into a career.
