Employment

British Antarctic Survey March 2020 - Present: I was promoted to be the head of electronic Services, managing a team of engeneers to provide Ship based Science support, Cambridge Engeneering facilitys and general project support.

British Antarctic Survey October 2017- March 2020: I am part of BAS' Antarctic Marine Engineering team working on a range of Low to Medium frequency RF projects, Base Science and Ships Science systems.

British Antarctic Survey August 2014-March 2016: I operated, maintained and improved a range of experiments in one of the harshest environments on earth. The main part of my role was maintaining two radar systems, SUPERDarn and MF Radar. SUPERDarn is a frequency agile, 8 to 18 MHz, radar which I maintained and assisted with the installation of a major upgrade. MF is a fixed 2.7 MHz system investigating upper atmospheric ionisation. While at BAS I also maintained a network of field sites, installed and developed a high accuracy GPS tracking system and maintained optical instruments. While with BAS I was also part of the advanced medical team. This involved scenario, first aid, patient recovery, diagnosis and treatment training as well as some practical usage of these skills.

Asset Handling June 2013 - August 2014: While at Asset Handling I developed sensor systems for both asset condition monitoring and remote footfall counting. Both these projects where mine from conception to manufacture. I also made a TCP/IP server and Cross Platform UDP server for the reception of data from some embedded systems. I also planned installations of such systems for industrial sites.

Asset Handling July - August 2011: I worked on building a share point server and organised data from a large number of sources. I also assisted with the development of new sensor systems.
