James Chivers Email & Phone Number

I am a Software Developer with an inclination towards systems development and low-level programming. I study Computer Science at the University of Technology Sydney, though I've spent most of a decade beforehand self-teaching programming skills, and have a deep understanding of many advanced concepts.During my ongoing tenure as a student at UTS, I have participated in many teams and helped design and prototype designs for things ranging from advanced engineering problems to customer-facing market solutions. I am currently participating in the software development section of the UTS Motorsports Autonomous team, assisting designing the software architecture of the overall project, developing and implementing various modules, and testing the performance and robustness of the software solutions.Outside of my passion for computer software, I am an avid musician, and love getting involved with the local scene in Sydney. I have previously coorindated and led the UTS Jam Club, a large group of talented musicians who meet on a weekly basis to socialise and stretch their musical muscles, and I currently participate in a handful of groups and bands. You may occasionally even see me at a live gig around town.My passion for music spawned a new passion for tinkering with hardware. Having wanted to get more out of my instruments, but not wanting to spend the thousands of dollars to purchase new ones, I have entered the world of tinkering. Having spent much of my time learning the inner workings of the electricals of my favourite electric instruments, I have gained valuable skills and experience designing, diagnosing, and otherwise working with wiring harnesses, and developed good motor skills for soldering and fine electrical work.
