Summary I have over 35 years of experience as a Professional Engineer. I started my career at a time when there was a huge demand for Electronic Engineers, largely as a result of the cold war, and demand for people in the defense industry was high. I soon set up a company and worked as a free lance electronic design engineer, all over the UK and also two years in Holland for ASM Lithography, working on semi-conductor wafer steppers. In 1987, following the market demand for software and systems engineers, I retrained and was recruited by Sundstrand in the USA. There I led a team of 12 engineers for the C17 electric power system. I returned to the UK in 1990, and for the next ten years, I worked as a contractor again and seemed to be in demand for Maths Modelling, Systems Design and Software - mainly ADA in the defence industry. In 2000, due to the new IR35 taxation rules, I decided to stop contracting and started my foray into new Technology start up ventures, working as an independent consultant and doing some teaching. Recently i have been doing quite a bit of teaching in FE colleges and privately in Universities, to mainly overseas students struggling with their courses. | Technical Background Electronic System design Circuit design and Analysis Maths modelling, Simulation Algorithm Development Software design, Programming Data networks and traffic queuing theory Analysis of Multi-access Protocols Digital Signal processing, Pattern Recognition, Estimation Theory Classical & Modern State Space Control Transmission lines and 2 port networks RF Systems Industries Space
