  Birmingham, United Kingdom My main role is safety critical embedded C programming; currently I am enjoying the challenge of optimising code for speed in the core product for the power steering team. I was responsible for implementing the UML for a significant component of the software architecture. This position has extra focus on the importance of formalised procedures surrounding the act of coding; covering testing, code review and change management documentation. When need arises I supervise both internal colleagues… Show more My main role is safety critical embedded C programming; currently I am enjoying the challenge of optimising code for speed in the core product for the power steering team.

  Bracknell, UK My primary role was embedded C programming. The small company atmosphere preserved after takeover meant that I also had the opportunity to do AHDL programming for hardware, extensive document writing and customer interaction including writing and co-presenting a three day training course. I was always pushing for simplification where possible and was extended the challenge of working on some particularly convoluted remote protocol code. I am proud to say that I radically reduced the complexity… Show more My primary role was embedded C programming. The small company atmosphere preserved after takeover meant that I also had the opportunity to do AHDL programming for hardware, extensive document writing and customer interaction including writing and co-presenting a three day training course. I was always pushing for simplification where possible and was extended the challenge of working on some particularly convoluted remote protocol code. I am proud to say that I radically reduced the complexity by removing unused functionality and refactoring around more accurate requirements. This resulted in simpler, cleaner and more maintainable code. Show less
