Software Development

Development of an API for interfacing a Velleman K8055 USB Interface board. 

This was developed as a personal project. Total development took approximately 6 months. This project gave me more experience with the creation of library based functions. The entirety of the project was written in C. 

Recently I started developing a Qt4 GUI to interface to the original C drivers. This is now working and available on request.

Point-n-Script - Drag and drop scripting interface for Linux. 

Point-n-Script (PAS) is a visual scripting environment similar to Automator on MacOSX. It will allow non-technical users to produce functional and elegant scripts with little or no technical knowledge of Bash or Perl. 

PAS will allow users to store commonly used scripts, or workflows, and possibly integrate with a right click context menu on Nautilus. Design of the scripts will be done by adding script elements into a flowchart-like arrangement.

Currently, the project is in planning stage.

Development of a Computer model of Biological Cell Movement. 

This was a BBSRC funded studentship based at the University of Birmingham.

The model implemented a mathematical model of movement based on a chemical gradient. The model was written in C++, and maps of the gradients were produced with the R statistical language.
