Markus Alphonsus Condren
Hi there! My name is Markus! I am a bilingual First Class Biomedical Science graduate
with a Masters
in
Software Development. Having previously had the opportunity to play professional football in Germany before an unfortunate series of injuries I have been working to develop a
wide range of skills to make me an asset to any organisation. My passion for technology and its
impact on the world around us, coupled
with
my background in science, makes me a well-rounded candidate for any technical/consultant role in
the
tech industry.
During my time studying for my MSc, I gained experience in programming languages such as Java,
PHP,
and JavaScript. I also had the opportunity to work on various projects, across a wide range of
technologies, gaining knowledge & skills in the likes of software engineering, database design,
and project management to name a few. I love working with other people in a team.
I aim to use my technical skills and creativity to develop
innovative solutions to complex problems. I am excited about the possibilities that technology
brings and am looking forward to working in the tech industry where I can use my skills to make
a
positive impact on people's lives. I am eager to continue learning and growing as a developer,
and a person.
I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.

"Artemis Lite" is a virtual board game written in Java, based on the NASA's Artemis program.
Players assume the role of space explorers, working together to build and expand their
space stations on the moon, while managing their limited resources. The game incorporates real-world
science and technology related
to the Artemis program, providing an educational and immersive experience for players.
As part of the development team for "Artemis Lite", my responsibilities included contributing
to the design and refactoring of the final code, providing input on the development of certain
methods,
classes, and test classes, and participating in the initial requirement analysis. I also finalized
the requirement analysis for the project report and created use case descriptions for the buy and
develop elements of the game. As the customer representative, I helped to further the flow, design,
and development of the game, including creating the virtual game board and providing initial
sequence diagrams and commentaries for the buy/develop element and end game. I was also responsible
for creating the final sequence diagram for the sell element, the UML class diagram and class
descriptions for the report, and conducting a video run-through of the game's code.

BeachSmart is an app, developed in congunction with Causeway Coast & Glens Council that aims to
inform residents and visitors on how to enjoy the UK's coastline in
a safe and
environmentally friendly way. The app is designed to act as a hub for beach smart, with an
interactive map using Open Street Maps and LeafletJS, as well as an administrative portal and API
written in PHP. The project is a proof of concept for the BeachSmart app, focusing on Portstewart's
coastline and points of interest.
The BeachSmart app has the potential to be an excellent tool for locals and tourists alike,
providing valuable information about the UK's coastline and helping to promote responsible beach
use. The use of ReactJS for the front-end, along with Bootstrap 5 and React-Bootstrap for styling,
ensures that the app is user-friendly and visually appealing. While the app developed during this
project is not a complete product, it demonstrates the potential for a professionally developed
BeachSmart app to have a significant impact on public awareness of beach safety and environmental
conservation. With the importance of the UK's coastline in public consciousness, this project has
the potential to make a real difference to the safety and enjoyment of those visiting the country's
beaches.
