Software Architect & Fullstack Engineer at Viion / Babcock / Royal Navy
September 1, 2018 - September 1, 2018
Led a team of developers and artists to create a sophisticated Unity3D training platform featuring a realistic nuclear submarine simulator for Royal Navy commanding officers. Engineered the backend and real-time physics model, empowering training facilitators to trigger dynamic, in-world disaster events to test and validate operational responses.
Data Platform Engineer at Carbon River / Vital Metrics
September 1, 2017 - September 1, 2017
Architected and delivered the conversion of a single-user Excel tool into a scalable, multi-user web portal driven by SQL Server for complex environmental impact reporting of public listed companies using their underlying financial ledger data. Reduced the time required for analysts to prepare a comprehensive report from over a week to just hours and enabled sub-second calculations across millions of data points. Each report can now be generated on-demand, allowing for real-time data analysis and decision-making. Reports generated led to significant financial savings for clients such as Travis Perkins whilst also having material environmental impact benefits.
