Hi!
I'm Jason, and this is my website.

Railway Challenge at Sheffield is an extra-curricular student-run team that which designs and manufactures a miniature locomotive. It has given me the opportunity to work with colleagues from a variety of different engineering disciplines.

As a software engineer, I maintain the locomotive control software, which is written in C++ and Python. For the 2023-24 design year, I implemented a dashboard and passenger information system which won the Location Announcement challenge at the IMechE Railway Challenge competition, contributing to the highest competition score in the team's history.

ShefESH is a student society that runs technical workshops on cybersecurity and skills relevant to penetration testing. I delivered an Introduction to Linux and Bash to approx. 75 attendees from across the university, providing them with a solid foundation for future workshops.

I'm also the secretary of the society, applying my excellent time-management and organisational skills to carry out a variety of administrative tasks with punctuality and professionalism.

As a co-lead organiser, I worked in a team of 25 organisers and volunteers to deliver Sheffield's flagship student hackathon for 2024 - a 250-person, 24-hour coding competition. I managed the finances of the event, liaising with Sheffield Students' Union, the University of Sheffield and our industrial sponsors to ensure the event ran smoothly.

I was also involved in the development of the event website using the Astro framework, demonstrating my ability to complete projects to a high standard despite tight deadlines.

As part of a team of six, I completed a full agile software development project for a web-based book sales application. This included requirements elicitation and analysis; implementation; automated and manual testing; documentation and delivery.
