James Merriman

I am an individual highly motivated by new challenges and opportunities.

I can work successfully either independently, or as part of a team. These qualities I have developed through my studies and work experience.

I have lived in North Devon all of my life, and I have a honours degree (BSc (hons)) in Computing & Software Development.

Previous to my degree, I have studied towards my foundation degree (FdSc) in computing and my BTEC national diploma in computing.

Over the past 18 months, I have developed my skills in HTML, CSS, ASP and JavaScript. You will be able to see these skills put to use throughout my site. Click here to see what features can be found on my site.

I have also created a portfolio of some of the projects I have been involved with, for you to browse at your leisure.

I enjoy playing football, rugby, cricket, tennis and snooker. I enjoy listening to music, socialising, watching films and I like working on computers. I also have a passion for amateur photography, as you can see from my photos. I have travelled by myself, or with family & friends, all over the world, and I hope to travel as much as possible. Click here to see a map of my travels. I also like to write about my past travels. You can view my travel blog here.

I am always interested in improving my own self knowledge, whatever the subject topic may be.
