Developing With a Passion While Exploring The World.
Craig Bell’s career journey began with a degree in Fine Art (’05-’09), but it was a long-standing fascination with technology that ultimately led to a successful transition into the IT field. Having spent nearly two decades experimenting with computers—from video and audio editing during his art studies to configuring family routers and troubleshooting an old MS-DOS PC—his passion for tech was clear.
In 2012, Craig Bell decided to formalize this interest by enrolling in a Masters conversion course at University College Dublin. There, he was introduced to web development, relational database design, and various programming languages. After completing his studies, he gained hands-on experience through an internship and a brief stint at Realex Payments. He was soon accepted into the prestigious WebElevate 4.0 program, which led to a position at one of Ireland’s top IT providers for credit unions, serving clients across Ireland, the UK, and Scotland.
In 2019, Craig Bell made the move into the e-learning industry, seeking a role that aligned closely with his web development skills. He currently works as a Senior Technical Support Representative at LearnUpon, where he provides expert assistance to LMS administrators in troubleshooting and resolving complex technical issues. His work spans a wide range of technologies, including HTML/CSS, JavaScript, SQL, Linux, and browser debugging tools. Additionally, he has developed proficiency with APIs and authentication protocols such as SAML and SSO.
Beyond his role, Craig Bell has also created scripts to help his colleagues become more efficient in their roles and to streamline the process of building reports, further demonstrating his commitment to innovation and collaboration within his team.
