My project set out to document a new Wireless Local Area Network for Teesside University, discussing what protocols, networking equipment and security would be implemented across campus and justifications for this. This was complimented by a map of my solution, with a Packet Tracer of two campus buildings to demonstrate part of the proposed network and a review of the current policies in place at the university in regards to the wireless network currently in place and how it could be tailored to suit the proposed network put forward. I have a great interest in Wi-Fi and network security and how it works as well as the different policies/laws that should be adhered to in regards to proper use of a computer network so wanted to do a project that put what skills I had in this area to the test and gain some new skills too.

About Me
Course
BSc Computing (Top Up Year from FdSc in Computing Networking)
Biography
I am a self motivated, hard working person who always works to the best of my ability and is always willing to learn and understand new things in order to hone my skills and gain more experience. I have had a great interest in computing since my first ICT lessons at Primary School and since then, my interest in the subject has only grown and grown until I decided to study it at University, focussing on Computing Networking but also broadening my horizons in IT Law and Information Governance which I am also passionate about. I do however also have experience in web development and database design which were honed in my work experiences throughout college and university.
