• C# WPF software development

13 month industrial placement in the Aerodynamics Performance Group developing analysis software. In this role, I developed a desktop application which processed data from track, wind tunnel and CFD in a real time context and presented this data through a large number of visualisation methods. I was solely in charge of this software and produced deployment pipelines, as well as documentation and repository management.

• C# with WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation)
• MVVM design patterns
• Integration of existing API's to a new codebase
• Optimised processing of big datasets in a real-time context
• UI design and HCI studies
• Automated software deployment through a release pipeline
• TFS repository skills

Working at Doddle, I produced a Python Flask app to create a Slack bot, using Slack's Events API and Doddle's internal API's. This allowed users to query the app for specific parcel information, which was formatted and posted back to the user. This project was then deployed through an AWS pipeline into production for Doddle, where it is now actively by their employees.

In this role I managed and upgraded Excel sheets, implementing conditional lookup functions, as well as filtering and formatting CSV data in Python, aiding the retail team by producing easier to use Excel structures. I also collected and compared pricing data across competing supermarket retailers, presenting the data in a suitable format.

Industry collaboration project with Arbor, a statistical company aimed at providing insights into educational data. In this project, I worked in a team of 4 to produce a GUI implementation of a statistical tool used to group multi - academy schools into groupings, based off specific data about an academy. This was concluded with a presentation to Arbor about our findings and solutions, as well as a journal article.
