My main focus at the moment is improving my Java and SQL skills.

In 2008, I completed two courses at London School of Computer Education: PHP & mySQL and Photoshop.

In my current position as a part of the client support team for an online advertising solution I mainly work via our in-house built interface to aid client create dynamic adverts using live feeds. An important part of my role is creating and running bespoke reports from our stats database using SQL Server Management Studio and modifying the results into a neater presentation using Excel. I also train new users of our interface either on location or via Web-Ex.

In my previous position the main software I used was Microsoft Excel, and have through this employer taken a two-day Excel VBA programming course. Macros I have written are in use by up to 30 people in the company’s offices in London and New York. In 2007 I created a macro that populated a spreadsheet with the right amount of fields before filling the fields with data in an SQL report run from our database platform. This was intended as a backup for the research team to create reports used in an important process. I also project managed a large survey process and data mining process for the London research team.

I have experience with Office packs 2000, 2003 and 2007.

I am fluent in English and Norwegian, with a good written understanding of Danish and Swedish as well as very basic German.
