Experience in Industry
My previous post was as a consultant affiliated to a larger team in an R&D project undertaken by the University of Wales, Newport for the Welsh Assembly Government. It required the electronic records to be organised into electronic files in accordance with the 'Digital Continuity' initiative of the Central Government. My role on this project was to implement the methodology that would achieve the classification of the data while adhering to customer requirements and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data. As part of my duties I had to apply the methodology, and collect and examine the quality of the results in a forensically sound manner.
