Since completing my studies in electrical engineering i’ve been interested in writing code that people can interact with directly. My previous career involved building embedded systems, creating things with the power and processing constraints of a self contained device. I think of my recent interest in mobile apps as a natural progression of my interest in writing interactive programs. I’ve found that writing code that users can quite literally touch to be a uniquely rewarding experience.
I have previous experience with React, React Native and full stack web development. My current goal is to specialize in IOS development and so I am currently building and releasing my own Swift UI apps. If I sound like the kind of developer you could use on your team please don’t hesitate to reach out. Cheers!
Some Previous Career Highlights
Antimatter Detector Electronics
At TRIUMF, Canada’s national particle accelerator lab I contributed electronics for the diagnostics and monitoring of critical particle detector systems. The ALPHA-g experiment I worked on for two years centred on finding out the effects of gravity on antimatter i.e. whether antimatter falls “upwards”. The project was successfully integrated into the ALPHA project at CERN in 2018.
Flexible Touch Sensing Prototype
Shortly after finishing my degree I joined a group of graduate students at the University of British Columbia attempting to commercialize research in flexible touch sensing technology. The research centered on a prototype gel based touch sensors, an early version of the flexible sensors used in folding devices today. Using this prototype sensor I constructed a wearable tech demonstrator using flexible circuit boards and a microcontroller.
Automated Text to Speech Converter
As one of the first employees at a startup providing automated narrations for online publications, I built a system to automatically convert articles pushed to rss feeds into audio narrations. A version of this system is still in use today providing hundreds of narrations daily.
