Manners Oshafi

I graduated from Dublin City University (Ireland) with a B. Eng (Hons) in Electronic Engineering in 2009 and then a Masters of Engineering in Telecommunications Engineering with a major in Software and Network implementation in 2010. 

Somewhere in the midst of lectures, coursework and projects, I took a great interest in Software Engineering/Development and worked hard at it. I started out learning C then onto C++, Java working my way up the Object Oriented Programming ladder. I've also worked with newer languages like Scala, Groovy and Ruby, but most of the time I'm mainly a Java/Groovy guy!

Over the years, I've been working very extensively with a number of web development frameworks such as Struts, Spring, Grails, GWT, and have worked on/developed production grade applications with them. 
More recently, I've been very interested in mobile and tablet devices and have started trying my hand at some Android and iPhone/iPad apps. 

I am currently a Software Engineer at Flightman, working on applications that automate existing processes in the cockpit, cabin and on the ramp, in turn reducing airline operations and maintenance cost. 

As for the future, I plan to pursue a Doctorate degree in an interesting field somewhere between Engineering and Ninja-ing but I'll work on the details when the time is right. 

Satisfying that thirst for being the very best one can be is a never ending quest, so this is me in the struggle, striving, just doing my rounds! 

Anyway, enough shop talk. When I'm not doing any of the above things I find myself doing one or many of the following (mostly simultaneously): 

• Spending quality time with l'amour de ma vie
• Enjoying a lovely meal (brekkie, lunch, dinner or inbetween!)
• Watching movies
• Hanging out with mates
• Partying like a rockstar
• Gyming, Not-Tanning, Not-Laundrying
• Playing with my Nunchaku(thats Nunchuks to you)
• Driving
• Sleeping

*Not in any particular order...except the first one ;)

Now forget everything you just read about a ninja..its for your own good! 

Mind your manners now ;)
