PROFILE
Let me introduce myself.
Hi, My name is Groud and I'm 28 years old. I like cats and enjoy long
walks on the beach... Here's the truth:
I am sometimes socially awkward, somewhat clumsy and avoid holding
babies because I drop things. I was born for awesomeness though, not
perfection.
I'm a self-taught web developer who is passionate about design and eye-candy
in general. I'm a son, a brother - analog at birth but digital at heart -
working daily to create version 2.0 of myself.
My education.
My education is not formal and somewhat unorthodox.
After leaving high school with a full GCSE/O'Level certificate I
invested many hours into learning different software
and technologies.
I strongly believe that meaningful education doesn't
always come in the form of a university degree. As such, crafting my own
education was and still is my primary focus.
Luckily for me there is a
wealth of online resources to aid me in this. It's amazing what you can
learn with a search engine and some discipline.
CXC GCSE/O'level Grades
These are my competencies.
I am working hard to aquire new skills and build on my current skill set. Personal education is a priority so I am always open to learning both news things and new ways of doing old things.

Human Capital Development
June 2012 - May 2014
My responsibilities were always fluid. Some days were very clerical in nature(typying, printing, researching and compiling data) and other days were more adventuous(accompanying my supervior to various locations, event planning, some heavy lifting and even chaperoning). I did a lot of work that was outside my job spec but I think that's why I enjoyed it the most. It broke the monotony of office work.
Skills honed:
