Part of a large development team working on a green-field project.Involved in full stack design and development of an extensive AngularJS single page app written in TypeScript, utilising the latest .Net technologies including ASP.MVC and SignalR.I spent a large proportion of time building client-side features with AngularJS though also helped design and implement core back-end functionality such as the introduction of server side event bus (RabbitMQ) which was then streamed in real time to the client.Keen to streamline the team’s workflow I introduced a number of Grunt tasks.

I have visited customers internationally, analysing their business processes and capturing requirements. I am a keen proponent of unit testing, including JavaScipt, but have also designed and participated in manual test scenarios.

My Masters industrial placement was an internship with Philips Research, at the NatLab Eindhoven. Working in the Embedded Vision Group, I was to produce a system able to recognise road signs, using their smart camera platform, WiCa.My work formed the basis of a patent application by Philips and was published in the paper I co-authored, Object Recognition Using the Relative Position of Feature Points (Corners), accepted to the SPS-DARTS conference 2007. Working in a foreign country, and in an international team, helped me to further develop my communication skills and teamwork as well as my technical abilities.
