Working as a software engineer in the defence sector on various sonar projects for submarines. Most have been obsolescence projects due to end of life for hardware, but a need for the product to continue to function, working with C++, Linux and drivers. Too much detail cannot be given due to the sensitive nature of the projects.

Working as a robotics and test engineer in a start-up company that is developing a teleoperated car rental service, using KIA eNiros. The job entails working on improving the technology for controlling the cars remotely, both software and hardware. From a software perspective (all C++, on Linux), the work has included refactoring the PID controllers.

Worked as part of the ACT team to maintain the existing portfolio of products as well as develop future ones. It required stepping in on multiple different projects where work was needed.Successfully developed interface software between X-Plane (a PC Flight Simulator application) and Stirling Dynamics’s proof of concept passive stick, Wasp SP. The software.

Worked as a software engineer on any areas that needed work as it was a small start-up company. The main body of work was to create a 3D environment for planning, simulating, and flying automated flights of the VTOL aircraft. This mainly consisted of LabVIEW code, but included some python and C++, as well as hardware and network interfacing. Furthermore.

Leeds

This was a one-off 4 week contract where I had to analyse and record how the Telefonica office space was used in their site in south Leeds.

Worked with the module leader to help run the first year module on microcontrollers. This was a three hour lab each week, helping to teach people coding from scratch, moving on to working on Mbed and coding in C.

Leeds

Throughout my time at Leeds University, I helped out with the open days and applicant days, which included tasks such as explaining the course, doing tours, presentations and answering questions.
