I primarily contribute to the upstream Rust project, continuing my various ongoing engineering
projects and duties as a compiler team member and co-lead. Within Huawei, I assist teams with their
Rust adoption and upstream contributions; participate in the Huawei's Rust Technical Management
Committee; and give talks on Rust and its compiler. \\

I'm also involved in development of Huawei's own programming languages, where I have contributed
to the implementation of automatic differentiation and led the design and implementation of constant
evaluation and constant generics. \\

I am the foremost Rust expert within the Central Software Institute of Huawei R\&D, leveraging my
Rust experience to accelerate and guarantee Rust's successful adoption, this involves:
\begin{itemize}
\item contributing to the upstream Rust compiler, prioritising features and bugs which impact
Huawei's business units
\item directly working with internal customers to recognise Rust opportunities, advising and
assisting teams adopting Rust, and identifying and prioritizing requirements for upstream
contributions
\item supporting HQ colleagues in maintaining our internal toolchain
\item internal knowledge sharing on compiler internals
\item participating in Huawei's Technical Management Committee to define internal coding standards
for Rust
\item internally representing the Edinburgh Research Centre within Huawei by promoting our work in
company publications and presenting to leadership from other parts of the organisation
\item externally representing Huawei by speaking at international conferences and attending as a
sponsor
\end{itemize}
Within Huawei's internal programming language projects I have lead planning and implementation of
constant evaluation and contributed to the implementation of automatic differentation. \\

During a summer, I rebuilt the entirety of Codeplay's continuous integration infrastructure
in my internship - introducing automated re-provisioning of Ubuntu, CentOS and Windows build nodes
and improving the configuration management, vastly reducing the turn-around time of changes
requested by engineering teams and downtime which impacted engineering team productivity. In
addition, I made various improvements to internal tools relied on by engineering teams.

In my third year, I worked in a team tasked with creating a event-sourced financial platform
\footnotemark[2] \footnotemark[3] for Avaloq, a banking software company. For the duration of the
project, I managed and led development on the event bus and the ``superclient''. Both written in
Rust, the event bus is the central server that manages and persists events while ensuring
consistency, correlation and horizontal scaling of microservice clients; the superclient is a
framework for building client applications in Lua with persistence and exposing a REST API. \\

Additionally, this involved working with the team to design and implement the various solutions that
allowed the system to achieve the desired properties; to streamline and improve our development
processes; and to mentor other team members in fixing bugs and building features when working with
unfamiliar technologies.

While on a summer placement at Glasgow Caledonian University, I implemented a colour-based
tracking algorithm from a research paper in C++ with OpenCV \footnotemark[4] \footnotemark[5] which
was capable of full 360 tracking of multiple objects simultaneously including when the object
leaves and re-enters the frame. \\
\vspace{2mm}
Furthermore, I built a tool for non-photorealistic rendering using OpenCV to make an image look
less realistic - in essence, creating a cartoon out of an image. Images were processed in two
distinct stages - extracting the edges from the image and overlaying them on a copy of the
original image that uses a reduced set of colours.
