John Pulford

Hi, I'm John Pulford, Student at Essex University, eager Software Engineer and K.F Bowden Memorial Prize winner!

---

I am currently studying an Integrated Masters in Computer Science, a very exclusive course that only 5 other people managed to get into. I attained a prize at the end of my first year given to the top four students in the department in terms of overall year marks (Mine was 86%). The prospect of a job in a career that I’ve strived to be a part of since I first started using computers at the age of 9 excites me. I truly started focusing from my induction to the BTEC National IT Practitioners Diploma where I achieved a distinction in all 17 units thereby attaining the highest possible BTEC point score in that course.
