Software Engineer / Stochastic Modeller
Send a job offer directly to this candidate
I am a trained physicist with a particular interest in stochastic mathematical modelling for biological and financial applications, though I currently work in defence.
Outside of work, I enjoy sports (squash, BJJ, football, calisthenics),, reading philosophical (particularly ancient Platonic metaphysics, philosophy of science, epistemology, and truth) and biological texts, and spending a lot of time with my wife and family.
Software Engineer - Leonardo UK The bulk of my role is focused on developing and architecting, reusable, efficient, object orientated software in C++, with further responsibility in the design and implementation of unit tests. A significant part of my role is spent base-lining the performance of radar software on hardware implementations. This requires the building of real-time operating systems, and the re-design of software solutions to fit time constraints, typically by the implementation of standard design patterns.
BAO Systems maintains and develops client specific software solutions for DHIS2, a large healthcare information management system. My primary roles were to extract & manipulate data (using SQL and regex) and to develop back-end software solutions in python. I developed the skills, and knowledge of software practices, needed to develop complex software solutions, along with the ability to communicate the results to non-technical clients.
Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl)
My primary role was to research various areas of radar signal processing, with a particular focus on the underpinning mathematics and stochastic processes, along with the development of software models. Due to the sensitive nature of the work, I cannot give many details, however, some of the topics I gained experience in include: Applied Mathematics
(Maximum likelihood estimation, minimum mean square error estimation, multivariate probability, Markov processes, measurement uncertainty & error propagation, probability & measure theory, Gambler’s ruin statistics, principle component analysis, linear algebra, coordinate transforms & tensors, group theory, reinforcement learning & Bellman equations) and software development skills.
Master of Physics, The University of Warwick, Coventry
