  • Aug 2017 - Present

  I provided top level LCR 4.0 assistance to SMEs, helping them to digitalise their product development through IoT and other technologies. I was nominated for a regional award for a project that saved an SME 20% of their development costs. My main project is developing a digital framework for digital twinning of nuclear reactors as part of a national infrastructure programme. Other projects include the development of a training simulator and a virtual assistant that allows operators to work hands-free in hazardous environments. I develop mostly with C++ but also Python, R and Java on PC and microcontrollers. I have experience with many programming languages and aim to be agnostic, choosing the most appropriate for the task at hand.

• Senior Engineer

  • Sep 2001 - Jun 2014

  I was a structural integrity specialist working as a partner consultant to the British Energy/EDF nuclear structural assessment team. I have experience of fracture mechanics including the R5 and R6 codes, code assessments, pipework analysis, static and dynamic finite element analysis with linear and non-linear materials. I developed assessment templates with a variety of tools to allow assessments, particularly outage referrals, to be completed more quickly using MathCad, Gawk and spreadsheets. I was also the IT manager for the entire network including servers and desktops.

  • Jun 1999 - Sep 2001

  I provided partnership support for the British Energy structural support group. This was essentially the same work as for Engineering Analysis Services Ltd that followed on from this partnership.

Defence Evaluation and Research Agency

• Research Engineer

  • Oct 1995 - Jun 1999

  I carried out applied research, including fracture mechanics assessments of GFRP laminate stiffeners and finite element analysis of specific cracking in naval vessel components. I developed a test program to analyse the fracture behaviour of GFRP stiffeners and carried out structural integrity assessments for emergent issues with Royal Navy vessels such as the Type 23 frigate.

  • Aug 1992 - Oct 1995

  I was a research assistant working in the structural testing lab investigating mixed mode cracking in the tubular joints of jack-up rigs. The research contributed to my PhD. I developed a software control system for fatigue testing and developed a number of pre and post processing applications for the generation of finite element models and analysis of data from virtual and real tests.

  • Sep 1991 - Aug 1992

  I was a software engineer working on the development of the Eurofighter flight control computer. Some of this was original code in Ada (Spark) but some work involved converting Fortran to Assembler. I was a software engineer working on the development of the Eurofighter flight control computer.
