My name is David Carmichael. I am from Campbell River and I am in the Web and Mobile App Development program. Before North Island College, I was in the Canadian Forces as an Army Communication and Information Systems Specialist (ACISS) for 9 and a half years. In my program, I enjoyed learning new technologies and meeting new people. The biggest thing I have learned from the program is how much versatile a developer needs to be. After graduation, I plan to find work and possibly start my own business.
My favourite course was Portfolio Project because I have been using everything that I have learned and more. After spending 9 1/2 years in the Canadian Forces (almost my entire adulthood) upon my release I decided I wanted a new career that offers me more freedom in my life, and challenge me more intellectually. I grew up a huge music fan, and despite not being musically talented, it’s always had a major influence on my life. One of my goals is to use the skills and knowledge I have acquired through my military service, and the NIC web and mobile app program to further evolve, improve and make a positive impact on the music industry as we move forward into the future. I also have a dog, a border collie named Sadie who is awesome.
