This page lists some of the projects I have been involved with. Please click a project title to find out more information.

Pragmap: Pragmatic approach to rapid tactical mapping (2009 - 2010)
Team project - University of Southampton

In disaster or conflict scenarios, massive deformation of terrain can render existing maps or satellite imagery useless. In these scenarios, accurate maps can be a matter of life or death; to get supplies into a devastated area, or people out. "Pragmatic Tactical Rapid Mapping" is a project which aimed to prove the feasibility of producing map and routing information from low cost aerial photography.

SHARE Project: Improving European Embedded Systems Industry through Open Source SW Sharing (2008 - 2009)
Involvement - Critical Software Technologies Ltd

Aims to facilitate open source software code sharing and utilisation within the embedded system domain, creating a nurturing environment for applications and solutions to be developed on OSS middleware, paving the way for new business models and services. SHARE is an international project made up of a consortium of companies.

During my involvement with SHARE I was required to work with an extensive European team leading Critical Software's involvement with the project. I also attended and presented at a series of multinational conferences throughout Europe.



Dynamic website and product database (2007 - 2008)
Individual project - Electron Dynamics
Involved in design, testing and implementation of Drupal based website for Electron Dynamics, UK. This also involved implementing a number of custom extensions written in PHP to supplement Drupal.

Colony (2007 - 2009)
Individual project - University of Southampton

Innovative open-source strategy game using simple stigmergetic, emergent and realistic behaviour of simulated amalgamated social insects.

NXPerienceUI++ (2007)
Individual project - NXP Semiconductors, UK

A replacement demo GUI for the STB810 and the STB225, looking at the design and implementation of already successful solutions, as well as the current exStbDemo.

GPS Mapping Game (2007)
Team project - University of Southampton

The system implemented was a derivative of PacMan where the user controls PacMan using their physical position on the surface of the Earth. The user is expected to use the game as a fitness test, as the length of time taken is recorded, so that the user can see as they improve. This project was written in C# for the ELEC2018 module for my degree. For this project my team and I won the "Best in year" award for our efforts.

ALU and Ring Oscillator Design Project (2006 - 2007)
Team project - University of Southampton

Our task was to design a chip that contained an ALU and a ring oscillator. For reasons of cost we are to use a cell based design approach. This means that we use pre-designed cells such as logic gates or flip-flops to create the overall design. This simplifies and thus cheapens the fabrication cost. This project was written for the D2 Design Project module for my degree.

Underwater Telecommunication Network Branching Unit Demonstrator (2004)
Team project - Alcatel

Design and build of a fully working demonstrator for undersea telecommunication networks, focusing on the powering schemes of multiple landing point telecommunication systems.
