Sean's jobs and employment notes

CV

My CV is available on request. I may be available for contract work from time to time, but I am not actively seeking work in the Electronics or IT market at the moment, since I am developing my experience in teaching and education.

My previous experience includes working in IT, specifically applications test developement for the big banks and similar. More recently in test process engineering developing QA processes within the electronics industry. Currently I work in Education.
