Who am I?

I am a senior software engineer passionate about taking complex problems and transforming them into clean, well-structured code. With over 6 years of industry experience and 4 years of academic experience specializing in C#, C++, and Unity development, I have honed my software development and problem solving skills while working on a range of interesting, cutting-edge software solutions.

Education

I graduated from Swansea University with a Master of Engineering (MEng) degree in Computing with First Class Honours in 2018, where I received an award for best overall performance in my class and department, achieving a first in all modules I completed over the 4 year degree. Academic projects I worked on included creating an augmented reality warehouse logistics application integrating into existing industry-used APIs (C#, Unity, REST), designing a space-shooter video game that utilized a genetic algorithm for enemy AI (C#, Unity, machine learning), and implementing an object-oriented backpropagation neural network architecture (C++, machine learning).

Professional Career

Rockfield

The day after my last exam at Swansea University, I started work at Rockfield as a Software Engineer. There, I worked on developing and maintaining the Elfen suite of geomechanics simulation software products primarily using C++ and Qt, refining my skills in agile development and cross-functional teamwork. This role honed my ability to quickly adapt to complex, industry-specific challenges, demonstrating my capacity to learn and excel in new areas.

Masters of Pie

The next step in my career took me to Masters of Pie, a startup providing an SDK that helps developer write collaborative application, particularly with immersive tech. Initially as a Mid-Level Software Engineer, I worked with .NET (C#) and Unity to help create immersive XR collaboration solutions. I worked on a range of projects including Radical SDK, which can be integrated into industry solutions to provide real-time collaboration capabilities, an XR-capable rendering engine, and I played a key role in the development of a bespoke defence sector XR collaboration application with GIS integration, contributing significantly to its success. In November 2023, as a result of my deep involvement in several major projects and mentorship to colleagues, I was promoted to Senior Software Developer.

Hobbies

In my free time, I enjoy learning to play instruments including bass and electric guitar, making and drinking coffee (see my BaristaAI personal project), and exploring technologies, from building / upgrading computers to Raspberry Pi projects.
