And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."

This application was developed to answer the hypothesis "Does VR training have a practical application in aeronautical engineering?". The project conculded, although undetermined in answering the hypothesis due to lack of suitably qualified participants during the current lockdown restrictions, that VR increases memory retention over conventional teaching methods for technical terminology.
BobbyJack's Hair Studio (due to
current circumstances has ceased trading as of early 2021) was a unisex hairdresser in
Sherborne, Dorset.
The site incorporates a main website - showcasing modals, tooltips, contact form, and a scalable
(live feed) Facebook container - with an admin page that is accessed
via clicking on the word “BobbyJack’s” in the footer and was developed on the MVC
model using HTML5, CSS Grid, JavaScript, PHP/PDO, and phpMyAdmin.
Hi, my name is Robert Hills, but known to my friends and colleagues as Rob. I have always had a
keen interest in all things computing, so decided (somewhat later in life than most) to fulfil
a life’s ambition of obtaining a degree in something that I enjoy and want to make a career of.
On completion I achieved a BSc(hons) Applied Computing (First-class) from the University of
Bath.
The challenges that programming presents is welcomed and enjoyed, even through the frustration
of something initially not doing what it was intended to do and the resultant jubilation of
solving
it. I have experience in, Database design (Oracle and MySQL), Java (Android Applications and
Multithreading), Web design and building (JavaScript, HTML, CSS, PHP), Game/VR Design (Unity and
C#), Visual Basic, Networking, and Cyber Security (Basics and Forensics), utilising various
IDE's and commercial experience (as per my CV) in C# ASP.NET + core (MVC), MS SQL Server,
T-SQL, Database First via Redgate Readyroll,
Octopus Deploy, Knockout TS (MVVM), SCSS, jQuery, JavaScript, Typescript, HTML, TFS, Azure
DevOps, Angular, Umbraco CMS,
code and database first approaches.
Further personal time has been and will continue to be spent in advancing my programming skills,
as can be seen with the continued addition of projects to my GitHub repositories the most recent
addition being
a microservices application.
Much of my career has been customer centric in sales and operational management roles,
so, understand the empathy and integrity required in maintaining solid customer
relationships. I have experience in data analytics, primarily to produce
Management Information, and in software project management through the development of Total
Accident Management's in-house repair and claims ERP, e-Point.
I realise there is much to learn and endeavour to further my understanding of
programming and the development lifecycle. I know I have the determination to see things through
and am willing and able to learn new techniques, which I reinforced during and on completion of
my degree.
