Brevan Miles
I am currently the Helpdesk System Co-Ordinator at Oxford University Computing Services, responsible for day to day work on the project to acquire and implement an automated helpdesk system. With a degree in Physics with Solid State Electronics from Exeter University, and after a PGCE and a short course in software engineering, I started work as a digital electronics technician in the school of engineering at Coventry University, and subsequently moved onto computer support and giving training courses in DOS and Windows. This led to a post at Oxford where I joined the training section training section of the Computing Services, teaching a range of computing courses (in particular programming), and helping to develop a course bookings system. I still teach some programming as well as software engineering and internet courses at the Department of Continuing Education. When I am not involved with IT, I spend much of my time cycling, Morris dancing, and on trains to and from Cornwall, where my family are living at the moment. |
