Knowledge Transfer Partnership Graduate

• Aug 2005 - Aug 2007

Before my full time employment at Comtec, I completed a KTP Graduate scheme which involved transferring the knowledge learned from 2 academic supervisors at Cardiff University (Dr Jianhua Shoa and Dr Omer Rana) to the business partner, Comtec. This involved designing and implementing a Data analysis tool that could be used internally to determine the user patterns on Travel websites. By loading IIS web logs into a SQL database and using SQL Analysis services and Data Mining technology, this tool could monitor common paths users would take in their web sessions. As well as implementing this tool, the KTP graduate scheme also involved attending NVQ Management courses, writing papers to be submitted for Data mining conferences and presenting all findings and ideas to the Comtec board of directors on a quarterly basis. This was completed in July 2007, with a KTP Associate qualification being awarded. Due to the success of this, and the skills demonstrated throughout my 2 years at Comtec, I was offered a Senior Developer position in the Gateway team. Show less
