After graduation I worked for 27 months on a Knowledge Transfer Partnership with Kingston University & Chess Dynamics as a Control and R&D Engineer. Gained a Level 5 Diploma in Management and Leadership and became a Chartered Manager shortly afterwards. Worked towards and achieved my Certified LabVIEW Developer qualification.
