Zero Waste EastbourneSetting up Eastbourne's first Zero Waste shop. Helping shoppers to do their weekly household shop with no unnecessary packaging.Software DevelopmentI have spent many years developing software solutions. These typically use a combination of VB.NET, C#, SQL Server, ASP.NET MVC, Windows Mobile, HTML5, JavaScript etc. A key skill I have is taking the time to understand a customers requirements, examining their existing workflow and providing an optimized solution.EducatorI'm a fully qualified ICT teacher and these skills are still being used as a consultant for local schools in the Sussex Area. ICT as a subject is changing to computing, and there is a need to teach computer science across all key stages of the national curriculum. Recently I have been working with pupils at Willingdon School teaching them to program Arduinos, an opportunity for me to combine software development, electronic engineering as well as teaching.EngineerThe first part of my career was spent working as an electronic engineer, from my early days as a weapons engineer in the Royal Navy, I have also worked in the steel industry as well as on sewage treatment plants. A common theme has been combining electronics with computers, often using a PLC or an embedded microcontroller to provide a complete solution.TinkererI've always got little side projects on the go, from building electronic projects using Arduinos to designing and building chicken coops
