I
have 17 years industry experience, working in IT, Aerospace and Formula
1, mainly working in Aerodynamics and software development for
engineers.
Aerodynamics
From an Aerodynamics
aspect I have experience of wind tunnel, CFD and road/flight test from a
aerodynamic design and data perspective with extensive experience in
modelling and analysing data. In today's industry the use of data is
ever increasing and thus engineers need to handle and process data as
efficiently as possible.
Data Analysis/Modelling
Combing data
analysis and modelling in todays industry requires efficient system
& software skills - most recently I worked on a project which
allowed users seamless data mirroring across country's - which allowed
users to process the data as if it were located locally instead of
remotely - similar to cloud computing but within a companies secure
network - any update to the data was automatically mirrored to ensure
that everyone was using the same data standard.
Software - General
I
have extensive software experience, specifically in Matlab, but also in
Python, C, C++ and FORTRAN. Designing not just tools, but scalable
software libraries that effectively become in-house toolboxes which many
engineers use to build there own applications, as well as GUI
frameworks which allowed users to plot all types of data including 2D
and 3D flight visualisation to recreate flight manoeuvres.
Software
which I have designed has been used all across Europe and Asia by
customers - all software is designed to be user friendly and easy to
pick up independently, but still retains the ability to be highly
customised by the experts.
Matlab
For
Matlab - I have experience of a number of toolboxes - however clients
often require to limit the cost of licenses so I can offer packages
which only rely on the core Matlab. I have excellent contacts at
Mathworks for enabling good communication between yourselves and
Mathworks. I have been described as a Matlab expert at a company with
20,000+ employees and my services have been retained by a consultant who
writes books on Matlab, and hence has the very highest standards.
I
also offer a service for compiling your Matlab functions into a single
library file which you can provide to your customers - think of this as
compiling a dll but one that your customer can use from within Matlab
(Mathworks do not offer this capability).
There are a few reasons for
doing this, primarily to protect your IP and to simply deliver complex
code in a version controlled and managed way. i.e. you have 20 Matlab
functions* -> this will be converted into a single Matlab file which
you deliver to your customer(s) confident that they are using your code
and they cannot edit it, ensuring the results are as you intended.
