Computer Vision, Senior Software Developer
Roke Manor.
(contract):
(Roke - Communications, electronics and networks)
I worked on a project to deliver data to a customer to show depth of ice build up in a jet engine. I used computer vision techniques and used OpenCV, Pycharm and python, some C++. The task also required the improvement of image quality and translating 2D images to 3D. The project has been postponed for several months, hence the contact was cut short.

Senior Software Developer (Contractor)
Defence Science and Technology Laboratory.
(DSTL - Scientific defence company for MOD)
I worked in the Chemical, Biological, Radiological Advice Group on hazard prediction codes. I helped to direct and develop a source term estimation code (C++/STL/BOOST) being involved with all aspects of the software lifecycle with an emphasis on design and testing.This was done in an agile development environment. I helped to get the code through stages, Phase 1 and Phase 2, with Phase 2 being successfully delivered to DTRA. I also developed and parallelised python codes. Work was done in both linux and windows environments. Responsibilities also included configuration management of codes, script writing, data analysis, peer reviews and documentation.

job
Software Engineer
unknown.
I worked in the HPC, High Performance Computing Section at AWE and was responsible for a suite of highly parallelised Finite Element analysis software from Sandia National Laboratories, US, written in F77/F90/C/C++. My work was paramount in getting the code through a milestone at AWE in 2014. I used to build, maintain and develop them on a regular basis sometimes working out in the US on projects for this code. Sandia work in an agile software environment which I find increases productivity. I changed to work on a linear solver code for the last 6 months which is the basis for many codes used by our physicists. All my work is carried out on linux platforms and is on the supercomputers at AWE.
I was also the main developer and custodian of a program, Lsd2sierra, written in java and xsl within an Eclipse framework; this has been ongoing for 8 years and underpins the AWE support of Sierra. This code translates an Ls-Dyna (commercial engineering code) to a Sierra input deck. The java involves a lot of string manipulation and a lot of reformatting of data so that the new input file can be easily parsed by the xsl code. I have also created a plugin of lsd2sierra which is going to be put into the Sierra GUI, CompSimUI. This GUI is going to be the future of sierra and to have this plugin as part of it is very important.
I have also been using GIT, SVN and CVS in my daily work. I have also helped to build a materials database at AWE using Granta MI and have used XML extensively for this. Responsibilities also included scripting in bash and awk.
I gained excellent experience working for two years (2010 to 2011) in a highly pressurised environment working with Sandia using C++ and learned a great deal of C++ at a high level during this time, e.g. working with STL and Boost libraries. Much effort was used to optimise the software and every way of doing so investigated. I worked in an Agile programming environment, working across split time zones, daily checking in software needed to complete and be tested to ensure those working in the next time zones didn't hit new issues.
I have also parallelised software using openmp and am familiar with MPI which is used throughout Sierra.
