Software Consultancy

I specialise (can and have taught courses) in Python, C++, CUDA, MATLAB, and a wide range of tooling: Git, Docker, CMake, Bash, and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Bitbucket Pipelines). I also regularly wrangle with cloud orchestration (AWS, Azure, GCP), and use various markup flavours (Markdown, ReST, LaTeX, HTML+(S)CSS) alongside the chimera that is JavaScript.

While personally more inclined towards UNIX (I have a Debian phone), most of my work has a strong emphasis on cross-platform compatibility.

I would describe myself as a Computational Physicist who appreciates the importance of user accessibility (the latter includes ease of installation, robustness, keeping breaking API changes to a minimum, and most importantly impeccable documentation & metadata – including release notes, versioning and licensing). At the moment I’m more involved in project/product management than engineering.

Here’s a breakdown of the number of lines of open source code I’ve written:

Experience

Projects I have worked on include:

  • Physics simulations
  • Real-time machine vision for:
    • localisation
    • object tracking
    • augmented reality
  • Machine learning for:
    • image denoising and artefact reduction
    • classification (natural language processing as well as more esoteric)
    • predicting data warehouse usage patterns
  • Performance optimisation
    • converting script prototypes into compiled – optionally GPU-executable – code
  • Creating and maintaining software frameworks, including:
    • testing
    • continuous integration
    • software which does version control (because Git isn’t perfect)
    • system administration (user accounts, network security, managing publicly accessible servers)
