Cambridge, England, United Kingdom

Working within the testing department in the wireless and digital services division at Cambridge Consultants. Project based development with the need to work across many teams within the company to deliver quality outcomes for our clients.

Worked within and across many teams during my time with Quantifi Photonics. Within the advanced engineering team...• Writing of product specification documents and communication ofthese specifications to the relevant engineering departments.• Investigated, defined, and prototyped new products, while workingwith other teams to implement the required product specificationsWithin the software team...• Improved efficiency of existing digital signal processing algorithms inMATLAB.• Converted these DSP algorithms into C to further decrease functiontimes.• Created and deployed software using C# to integrate with C algorithms. The software was developed using a MVVM architecturewithin WPF, with XAML providing the front end.Within the hardware team...• Implemented low level C++ to interface with firmware for instrumentcontrol and algorithms to provide measurement parameters.• Performed extensive design verification testing for multiple opticaltest and measurement products to validate required performancespecifications.• Experience in identifying and troubleshooting complex issues withinoptical test and measurement systems, typically including the use ofoptical equipment such as oscilloscopes, optical power meters, andoptical spectrum analyzers.Within the NPI team...• Extensive experience working within the NPI team writing automated calibration scripts in Python to streamline the process for production staff.• Design calibration systems which meet requirements such as powerbudget and test time to achieve production ready product specifications.• Mentored and trained employees in optical knowledge and calibration routines.Within the general company...• Fire warden and a member of the health and safety team responsiblefor running evacuation drills and workplace fire safety and evacuation compliance.• Trained fire deputies to safely evacuate their building section, andprovide concise information once evacuated.

• Designed and implemented automatic test procedures on optical components including calibration and optimization to streamline testing leading to increased productivity• Numerically Modelled optical devices using Python• Verified models with extensive laboratory experiments including use of optical and electrical test equipment • Designed and implemented graphical user interfaces for test procedures• Participated in product design verification•Trained and instructed staff on test procedures

Auckland, New Zealand

• Numerically modelled ultra-short optical pulses and their properties within an optical pulse shaper using Python• Worked within a fibre optics lab using both electrical and optical testing equipment, such as optical spectrum analyzers,real time oscilloscopes, optical power meters, and 4-f pulse shaping systems.• Designed, sourced, and characterized components for a temporal pulse shaping system including lasers, fibre Bragg gratings, and optical modulators.• Experience in the measurement of ultrashort optical pulses including frequency resolved optical gating, and optical autocorrelation.• Wrote Python scripts to interface with a commercial variable optical attenuator to calibrate and verify product performance.• Designed and performed experiments to validate the use of a 4-f pulse shaping system as a delay stage for optical autocorrelation.

Auckland, New Zealand

• Worked with lecturers to implement the first ”Studio” approach in New Zealand which involved radical changes in the curriculum, pedagogy and classroom environment. • Taught and mentored first year physics students through classroom based learning and laboratories.

Auckland, New Zealand

• Travelled to low socioeconomic locations in Auckland to engage with young school leavers and encourage them to join BEST.• Participated in internal staff promo events including giveaways and incentive programs.
