< p > This job involved ensuring customer satisfaction was very high! Every car had to be cleaned meticulously to ensure the highest standard was achieved. We often spent a lot of our time in commercial workspace environments and so remaining professional was key to the service we provided. I enjoyed working here a lot because of both the independent and teamworking aspects. On many occasions we would find ourselves working on a car in a group so communication was key to ensure that no part was missed nor any unnecessary work was undertaken!< / p >

< p > This project is a web application designed to make an easy way for employees to log the hours that they are working. All they have to do is clock in at the start of the day and clock back out once they have finished. The app is being developed using ASP.Net 5 with MongoDB acting as a permanent data store for each user's data.< / p >

< p > This project is probably one of the largest so far! It is designed for flight sim users to be able to brief and track their flights as well as giving them the ability to fetch relevant routes and charts with just the click of a button. The project is a part of my A-Level course and thus is heavily documented at all stages of the application development life cycle. It has taught me a lot about the agile development ideology, something that will be really useful to apply to some of my next projects!< / p >
