As part of a second internship at the University of Glasgow, I am extending the work I carried out in my MSci project. I am adding extra functionality, including more advanced code emission and analysis techniques, to the automatically parallelising compiler with a view to it being written about in a future publication.

Tutoring for three classes - Python Programming, Computer Systems and Algorithms and Data Structures. Duties include taking attendance, marking work, helping students with any problems with assigned work, helping students fix bugs in their code and running tutorials.

I worked in an agile development team on a large project used by customers and employees of the firm. I wrote programs using SQL, Java and Xquery among other things. A normal day would involve any of the following: requirements gathering, writing documentation, attending meetings, giving demonstrations of my work, writing code, writing integration tests and writing release notes. During my time at JP Morgan, I was able to experience the processes involved in large scale software development in an international company. I honed my professional and technical abilities and gained fantastic insight into the non-technical skills that are needed to be an effective part of any development team.

While working for the Glasgow Interactive Systems Group, I was charged with writing a set of android applications that explored thermal feedback in mobile interface design. I then,using the software, carried out experiments involving users that explored a set of hypotheses.
