Architecture, design, and development of ARMOR: a Unity-based IG for military simulation, mission planning, and mission rehearsal. Highlights: - Built a Whole-Earth terrain model and improved terrain performance by over 1000x. - Increased procedural building loading performance by over 10,000x, and improved rendering performance. - Enhanced interoperability through open standards by adding support for CIGI 4. - Improved simulated entity performance by ~10x using Unity Jobs and Burst. - Added composition-based effects, using Unity Visual Effect Graph, simultaneously improving performance and visual quality. … any many more exciting developments still to come.

Scoped, managed, and delivered a variety of technical projects, including: - A cutting-edge XR joint fires training system, including multiple technical trials across several UK training locations. - Integration of in-service military software with simulation software, including DACAS and a mortar fire control system, allowing customers to “train as they fight”. - Design and build of various emulated military equipment for simulation, including LTD/LRF, binoculars and IZLID IR markers. - Delivery of conventional (projection-based) joint fires training systems to UK and international customers. - Methods and tools for automated management of complex simulation systems. Managed and grew a technical team from 1 to 10 multidisciplinary staff, including recruitment, line management, training, and tasking. Developed and refined company processes to ensure consistent and efficient delivery, in line with quality management standards. Maintained responsibility for cyber security and data protection. Planned and coordinated with the technical director to ensure timely and effective delivery of all projects, products, and services, in line with company strategic objectives and changing circumstances. Supported business development with technical input to bids and proposals.

Provided integration expertise and developing bespoke applications to meet the unique challenges involved in joint fires training.

Worked on a variety of projects, including a driving simulator and several helicopter simulators, both as part of a team and as an individual responsible for delivery of specific subsystems, typically under high pressure and working to very short timescales. In particular: - Simulated communications systems - Artificial intelligence for road traffic - Data integration over UDP and DIS - Motion tracking for retail shop displays - Simulated defensive aids system (DAS) - Ballistic trajectory tracking

Completed an engineering doctorate (EngD), researching techniques to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of high performance computing resources in the aerospace industry. Included a two year placement at Airbus, where several case studies led to significant time and cost savings.

Developed, tested, and operated simulations for helicopter tactics training. Explored the suitability of video game engines for application to professional simulation.

Worked as part of a small team to convert an existing university course (manufacturing with metals) into a format suitable for distance learning.
