Languages:

I have a written a substantial amount of code for all of the following languages and feel that any new language could be learned relatively quickly.

Operating Systems:

Applications:

A number of small projects have been undertaken throughout my University career including -

• A basic emulation of a NS16450 UART chip designed in Altera's MaxPlus+2 software, using graphic and AHDL design tools.

• A simple UART designed and constructed on a breadboard. Using discrete logic, it read data from an EPROM and transmitted the data via a serial link to a VT-100 terminal. Parity was selectable along with number of stop bits.
• A ROM -based state machine designed and built onto a breadboard. Using an ALU chip and other assorted discrete logic, it performed multiplication among other arithmetic and logic operations.
  
• A traffic light controller designed for a 3-way intersection implemented using an Intel 8051 Microcontroller
  
• Assembler routines created in MIPS R2000, Motorola 68000 and Intel 80x86 chipsets that sorted 100 numbers using a bubble sort.
  

Each of these projects were developed by a team of 2 - 3 people

• At Newcastle University seminars have been prepared and presented on the topics of:
  Optical Fibre Communications(10 minute talk)
  Protective Relaying in Electrical Power Systems(2 x 10 minute talk)
  Content Addressable Memory������������������������������ (30 minute talk in group of 5)
  Design & Implementation�of a Video - On - Demand Network(30 minute talk in group of 5)
  �
• Written reports (around 3000 words) with diagrams were produced for a number of the above mentioned projects as well as for numerous laboratories.
  
• Working in a groups/committee's (Project work - University and being a committee member of CNBB see above) requires communication between all members to continually ensure a profitable and acceptable solution.
