                               Kent.
This was my first job after leaving school. Gained a good grounding in reading data sheets; the testing and selecting of Thyristors, Triacs, FETs and transistors.

QUALIFICATIONS: BTEC HND in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, with main
point in Electronics also have some experience in mechanical and optical design.

July 1985:                    Higher National Certificate in Electronics.

OTHER QUALIFICATIONS:
                                    Diploma in Engineering Management

EXPERIENCE:        Analogue Circuit design: - Transistor, OP-AMPs, D to A, A to D conversion, complex resistor networks, stepper motor drive, switch mode power supplies.

Opto Electronics: -    Solid state cameras (linear images sensors such as NMOS & CCDs), photo cells, LCDs, LEDs.

Digital Circuit design:- Random logic such as 4000 and 7400 series, LSI, programmable logic (CPLD) using Languages such as Able and Cupl.

Printed Circuit Board Layout:- CAD with OrCAD 16 (Cadence); I can do manual layout with tape and scalpel.

Microprocessor software / hardware design:-
                                    Motorola/Hitachi MC6801, MC9HCS12, and HD6301: I have particular   knowledge of these.
                                    Intel 8748, Rockwell 6502 (now obsolete). Some knowledge of PowerPC.
                                    Including designing in :- DMA, battery backed Ram/clock, EEPROMs

                        I have used various Cross Assemblers, Basic, C (in which I work mainly), and Pascal. Checking tool PC-lint. These applications run on Windows.

                        I gained experience seeing a number of small and some larger projects from conception & specification, through planning, design, development, final
                        testing, and on-going revision of the instruments which the company now manufactures. I used Prato analysis and half split methods to manage my
                        work.

                        I now work with a Project manager, Physicist, High Level Software Engineer and Technician. I also work with a mechanical draftsman, and other
                        people. The CAD tools I use are OrCAD for circuit design and printed circuit design, C with pc-lint, Able CPLD programming language. I
                        occasionally still use a soldering iron.

                        I am consensual, considerate, listening and can express my confidence in work. I encourage people to ask questions, which I will answer promptly,
                        or explain any work that I will have to do in researching the answer. In short, I think it an important merit that I consider the consequences of what I
                        do beyond the work just in front of me. I have a particularly good feeling for circuit design, with good electromagnetic compatibility.

INTERESTS:

My interest in science and electronics started quite young. In my teens I made Power Supplies, Oscillators, Amplifiers, and an Oscilloscope. While still a teenager I learnt to take a more cautious approach after receiving a shock when experimenting with live chassis TVs etc. I also enjoy Walking, Photography, Community work, Travel, the Environment, and most types of music.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT:

I am involved in community work as a school governor and have been a parish councillor for 12 years eight of those as chair of Southborough Town councils’ Planning and Transportation committee, which I enjoyed considerably. I prepared myself for these civic duties by watching council meetings and commenting in letters to local newspapers on what I observed. I also developed my communication skills joining a public a speaking club prior to being elected. My motive is to help empower ordinary people.
