For the third year of my university degree I was required to take an Industrial Placement. I chose Galleria-RTS as they were developing large scale enterprise applications which I felt would give me great experience.
I quickly integrated into the team, working on the main Galleria application and producing production ready code within my first 2 months. I had to quickly refamiliarise myself with Visual Basic 6, as I hadn't written in VB6 for over 2 years. I was also given some time to experience the Support and QA roles within the business to give me a further insight into how the business operates.
I believe I impressed at my time with Galleria, not just with my development skills but also with my team work and social skills. I have been recommended by colleagues and also receieved some great feedback from my Line Manager.
Working at Galleria also gave me essential knowledge working on large scale Database Systems. I worked with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and found myself quite at home writing complex T-SQL.
Galleria works with some of the best known brands in the world, including Walmart, Safeway and Tesco. For me to work in this environment was a great opportunity and I believe my role at Galleria gave me the experience and knowledge required to further my career within the computing industry.

I'm originally from Burnley, Lancashire and I've been living in Stafford and Derby whilst on my Degree course. I found my passion for programming during my time at College and I've never looked back.
I'm an avid follower of both the games and mobile phone industries. I enjoy writing code in either area and I'm aiming myself for a future career in either, or perhaps both.
