About

Stuart E. Beard

I am a 22 year old Student and have just finished my final year at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. I have varying interests that cover a broad spectrum in both my specialism, and other fields.

I studied for a degree in Software Engineering and as such I have interests in good code practises, collaborative work, and communications. I also enjoy database systems, new powerful programming languages, internet advancements and social media.

Outside of computing I admire architecture, history and photography. I am a great believer in learning from what has gone before me, although learning the mistakes for myself is also invaluable in the course of life. I am also interested in medical technology and devices, inherited from my father who first introduced the Stiffneck Collar into the UK.

I am a huge sports fan and participate in Golf, Badminton, Skimboarding and Slacklining. I am a keen Rugby fan and follow the Welsh international side, as well as the Osprey's and the Cardiff Blues. Closer to home I am the information and web architect for Edinburgh University Rugby Football Club (EURFC). I also have worked with the Edinburgh Charity Fashion Show (ECFS), Edinburgh University History Society (EUHS) and Edinburgh University Pole Dancing Society (PoleSoc) on their web presence. See their respective project pages for more details.
