Comprehensive and varied lab experience.
Final year group project was to design a non-intrusive apparatus to measure the deflection of a panel of aircraft skin during a simulated lightning strike. I went on to present the findings from this project at the in[SCI]te student science conference.
Employment History
2018-Present
Consultant
Aerogility
I work face to face with international clients to identify and implement new functionality to the aircraft maintenance scheduling algorithm. In particular I developed the ability to merge several maintenance types into one shorter time slot.
Extending and maintaining tools that keeps all databases and SQL scripts error free.
I implemented a MySQL adapter and migrated the civil databases from MSSQL to AWS Aurora. This significantly improved data query speed and reliability as all functionality is now on one platform.
Training clients on how to use our products.
Creating exploratory demonstrations of Aerogility's applications to industries beyond aviation. In particular to wind turbines and the energy sector.
Volunteer Work
2023-Present
3D Printer Technician
South London Maker Space
In a team with 2 other 3D print technicians we fulfil all 3D printing related duties, ensuring all 6 FDM and resin printers are in a usable condition at all times for our 600 members.
We conduct training on how to safely use the printers.
We perform maintenance on the printers, conduct calibration tests, fix blockages.
Skills
Software Languages
Experience in programming in Java, Matlab, Visual Basic, Arduino and LaTeX through a variety of personal and academic projects and work. I also work heavily with databases and am fluent in MySQL, MSSQL and Oracle flavours of SQL.
Electronics
Participated in a range of electronics based projects and have developed a firm understanding of circuit theory, interpreting datasheets as well as the design and manufacture of Printed Circuit Boards.
3D Design
CAD experience in SolidWorks, Fusion360 and FreeCAD. FDM, SLS and SLA forms of 3D printing and 3D scanning using Creality CR-scan and photogrammetry. CNC machining.
Other Skills
I have used the following skills in past projects to varying degrees: welding, metal lathe, sewing, plaster casting, woodwork, silicone moulding, sketching, screen printing, vacuum forming, laser cutting/engraving, Arduino, producing engineering drawings, fluid simulation, electromagnetic simulation.
