What can I bring to your organisation
My ideal role and organisation
Research and development role where have a chance to be creative and innovative. The money isn't all that important, but a friendly, constructive environment that encourages growth is. Companies that embrace change are most exciting, there's nothing worse than being stuck at a company that refuses change on principle.

Previous Projects
NXPerienceUI (2007)
[Individual work]
A replacement demo GUI for the STB810 and the STB225, looking at the design and implementation of already successful solutions, as well as the current exStbDemo.

GPS Mapping Game (2007)
[Group work]
The system implemented was a derivative of PacMan where the user controls PacMan using their physical position on the surface of the Earth. The user is expected to use the game as a fitness test, as the length of time taken is recorded, so that the user can see as they improve. This project was written in C# for the ELEC2018 module for my degree. For this project my team and I won the "Best in year" award for our efforts.
ALU and Ring Oscillator Design Project (2006 - 2007)
[Group work]
Our task was to design a chip that contained an ALU and a ring oscillator. For reasons of cost we are to use a cell based design approach. This means that we use pre-designed cells such as logic gates or flip-flops to create the overall design. This simplifies and thuscheapens the fabrication cost. This project was written for the D2 Deisgn Project module for my degree.
Underwater Telecommunication Network Branching Unit Demonstrator (2004)
[Group work]
Design and build of a fully working demonstrator for undersea telecommunication networks, focusing on the powering schemes of multiple landing point telecommunication systems.
