FULL CAREER HISTORY
in SCIENTIFIC COMPUTER
SYSTEMS
1993 - 2009 Huge problems with the
British NHS! ('Chronic and acute'…) I only worked for one of these
sixteen years full time: - July 1996-April 1997; on global, world-wide
'Distributed Interactive Simulation' (DIS) C++ systems
networking of virtual reality tank battle simulation. The Official
Secrets Act covers this work as a Senior Software Design Engineer at
Lockheed Martin Solartron (who make the stealth bomber!)
Also 1999-2002 was
personal tutor of A level maths and physics; A level/degree C++
computing; and IT to People with Learning Difficulties. Best result was
my last student got from 18% failure to 'B' grade AS level pure and
applied mathematics in just four hours' tuition! He 'just' needed
confidence! A familiar story I often found!
In 1991 I was made a
full Member of the Institute of Measurement and Control and so a
Chartered Engineer. This was solely based on experience, no examination
required apart from one-hour interview and CV. In 1992 I was made
automatically, as a result of the above, a full Member of the
Institution of Electrical Engineers and 2005 a full Member of its
successor the Institution of Engineering and Technology - so have all
of four Royal Charters – of the UK Engineering Council as a Chartered
Engineer; in Electrical and Electronic; Engineering and Technology; and
Measurement and Control Engineering. (Chartered Electrical and
Electronic, Engineering and Technology; Measurement and Control; so
Instrument Engineer with all four Royal Charters on my lounge wall).

Found work locally and made the boss multi-millionaire from 1988. By
designing lan Pointer of Digitron Instrumentation, Hertford,
a four channel temperature/millivolt handheld data logger with just 32
components including case and rechargeable batteries, with just four
kilobytes of 'C' software in Motorola 68HC11 micro controller.
Seemingly uniquely, was accurate to 0.1 degrees Centigrade. Use of a
Teledyne dual slope analogue/digital (A/D) converter was lan's
brilliant only stipulation for the design, otherwise all by yours truly.
Thousands sold nationally and globally to supermarkets!

Tate Gallery - Clore
Extension. This houses the country's entire
collection of Turner masterpieces. Extremely complex and sophisticated
(artistic!) heating, lighting and humidity control system. Dared to

Turner masterpiece. This was only while I was trusted alone in the
gallery with the collection of priceless works of sublime art like
that, lying on the floor while being cleaned and prepared!
·
Bondina Textiles,
Greetland near Halifax, North Yorkshire (now Freudenberg Textiles
plc – a multi-national with Japanese and German bases).
Very sophisticated
control of multiple Siemens S5 Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's)
for the very pragmatic production of everyday bonded artificial fibres,
as sold in cleaning pads etc, in supermarkets throughout the world,
under world famous trade names like Vileda and Vilena...
1981 – 1988
In my spare time I did
eight years of wonderful voluntary work, for which I claimed no
expenses, for the local MENCAP Gateway Club, and also physically and
other disabled.
This included free trips
throughout in return to many parts of England, plus Caltagirone,
Palermo and above all Raggione in Sicily.
MAFIA HQ got a shock
when we took the town square at Raggione over - it all ground to a halt
especially when we took the wheelchairs down the local CAVE steps! So
their occupants could also see the lovely caves underground, complete
with our cheery crowd of people with learning difficulties.
Notoriously Italians,
at least then, used to resent and conceal disability at all cost...
My other trip abroad
with Hatfield Gateway Club was equally memorable - on a houseboat in
Zierikzee, Holland, in deep winter.
1976 – 1980 Contract
ICI plc software designer
This involved a very
great deal of 100% completed and tested work, on several complete, ICI
process control plastics plant automation projects. First job in 1976 –
completely rewrote, and tested, with only ONE small bug, the entire
5,000 line sequence control program for the Melinex polymer plant at
ICI Dumfries, Scotland. Not surprisingly after that, invited back
repeatedly and designed 11 packages totalling nearly one megabyte in
the ICI language RTL/2, for cost control systems in the year 1979-1980.
EDUCATION
1975-1979 – Won an Open
Scholarship in 1975, took a year out, then took my BA (given my MA in
1983) in Natural Sciences (Part I) and Computer Science (Part II)
Tripos, King's College, Cambridge.
1976-1977 -
'Got “an incredibly good” First in Chemistry at Part IA', according to
Professor Richard Lambert, Director of Studies in Natural Sciences at
King's - a lot thanks to excellent and intensive personal tuition.
I 'only' got a II:1 in
mathematics and biology of cells; and devastatingly at the time, only a
II:2 in my 'major' subject, physics.
1977-1978 -
Despite all problems of love life, and vicious political stress
especially in such an academically rarefied college, 'got' a very high
II:1 - with rather philosophical physics exam answers.
Not surprisingly,
having stopped going to lectures halfway through the year, got only a
Third at my ostensibly best subject, mathematics. Nevertheless - high
II:1 in Natural Sciences Part IB hence First/II:I overall in Part I of
the Tripos.
Loads of hockey (as was
the college secretary - who haunted the bar lunchtimes to scratch
together any old volunteer team - mixed against the all-male teams of
most other male only colleges).
Stroked and was number
six (6'2” and 13 stone) in college Third VIII till disciplined for
cursing my crew when double over-bumped in the summer season
bumps...!
1978-1979 –
Managed a II:2 in Finals in Computer Science Part II despite very
serious illness for all of six months the previous year.
1975-1976 – 'year out' of education – in heavy IT in the chemical
engineering industry (my first four months at ICI as above) then a
working holiday on a kibbutz in Israel for six weeks, followed by two
weeks travelling round that war-torn country
1968-1975 -
Consistently a top County Scholar at Saint Albans Direct Grant School,
Saint Albans, Hertfordshire, England.
I followed Cambridge
Lucasian Emeritus Professor, of Higher Mathematics, Stephen Hawking, to
this same school, ten years after he was there. So I had all the same
brilliant teachers as he did - especially in maths and physics. That
explains a lot later in my life! Top two in class throughout and second
in school's national maths test to one Mr Searby, top Oxford
mathematics scholar.
Now enjoyed sport more
– squash, Hatfield tennis, darts, bowling, snooker, pool, cards, bar
and table tennis club, 'all sorts' of concerts - rock to classical –
and rugby, soccer, basketball, swimming, and hockey).
1972.
Grade 1 in mathematics, English Language, French O level (“l'argot
parisien des rues parfait et couramment” after one month intensive
'Commune Europe' 1972 at Cognac, France, in a lovely chateau)
1973.
Grade 1 in additional mathematics, German, Latin, history, physics,
chemistry; 'only' grade 2 in geography; O Levels. 'Perfekte
hochdeutsche akzent bei meine deutscher Lehrer mit seine Frau aus
Hamburg'!
Founder Member school
Conservation Society (ecology).
School second tennis
team; and sometimes second hockey team.
1974.
Grade 1 Geometrical/Engineering drawing O Level.
1974.
Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award. (Voluntary psycho-geriatric nursing
assistant at Hill End Asylum. Feminism course with Arianna
Stassinopoulos at Hitchin Priory. Cycled 120 miles in 3 days round East
Anglia. Honours Personal Survival Swimming.)
1974.
A1 A1 A1 grades in my mock A and S (Special) Level exams in Maths,
Physics, and Chemistry.
1975.
A1 A1 A grades in my Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, A and Special
(S) Level exams.
Also I passed the
Oxford & Cambridge 'Use of English' exam, followed by my Open
Scholarship to read Natural Sciences at King's College,
Cambridge.
I never 100% completed
my DEAS Gold Award that year, as I could not bear, at the very end of
all that, to write up my log of our 200 mile four-day cycle marathon
round the Peak District National Park. The theme of my log was
'environmental damage' and I felt too upset by the sheer hypocrisy –
and so vast damage - there…
Also took St John's
Ambulance First Aid Certificate for DEAS, did more psycho-geriatric
nursing, and got very physically and mentally fit for that Gold
Award...!
1964-1968 Newtown
(Dellfield) Junior School, Hatfield, Hertfordshire.
Consistent double 'A'
grades in Maths and English apart from two 'B+' in the penultimate term
– I was literally shocked by that 'dismal failure' (for me) and soon
picked up in the last term back to double A's.
So a leading student in
that school throughout - apart from football – I mostly loved maths,
English, art and music. My teachers were all excellent and fun.
Memorably my music
teacher, Mrs Sheena Martin, was once married to George Martin. He was
'quite musical', largely thanks to her. He was the famous producer of the
Beatles…!
