Traffic Management Lead Data preparer

Jul 2017 - Present
Due to my background in both software development and IECC/Signalling, I was asked to assist in the development of the Luminate Traffic Management product for Digital railway at Thames Valley Signalling Centre (TVSC). Since then I have been the lead data preparer, using my own software creations to automate data creation of the 9 IECCs at TVSC being added to the Luminate platform. I have been an integral part of helping improve the product during the trial period, and have acquired good knowledge of train planning and ARS data. Show less

During my initial 6 months with DeltaRail, I was given the opportunity to sample many different areas of the business, from using Microsoft FoxPro as a data analysis tool to determine track usage, to software integration testing for the important IECC Scalable project. During these months I helped deliver the IECC Scalable project to pilot on schedule. During the pilot, which was of 6 month duration, and whilst working on my next project, I was on-call 24 hours a day for certain periods, providing real-time support during any issues that the on-site technicians encountered. My second project was in software development, and I joined the team during the design stage. I was responsible for upgrading two client-server applications with new functions for Network Rail. The clients were Windows PC based written in C and C++, and the servers were Linux based, written in C and using executable bin/bash scripts. In addition, the communications between the clients and servers used XML, and each client had its own HTML based ‘help’ document. This project gave me a great understanding of writing for both platforms, and a better understanding of the software development process. I was required to write my own design documents, architecture documents using Enterprise Architect, and present my design solutions to the lead architect, project manager and other team members. As the project progressed, I became experienced in building the full project software release and installing it onto the hardware for the test team. Due to a limited number of laboratory test rigs, I was required to create a version of the hardware to be run entirely on virtual machines. I am now proficient in the creation and deployment of virtual linux machines to be deployed in Windows environments. In addition, my project manager also entrusted me with bringing outside contractors up to speed with the project when they joined for short term assignments. Show less
