Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Halter is a Senior Systems Engineer with 15+ years at Amey, specializing in railway telecommunications and systems renewal projects across CIS, CCTV, PA, help points and associated LANs. He combines rigorous GRIP-based design practice with hands-on deliverables—specifications, drawings, feasibility reports and site surveys—while managing third-party consultants and suppliers to deliver cost-effective solutions. A PhD-qualified electrical engineer, he brings deep technical analysis and a habit of introducing leading-edge technologies and automation, particularly leveraging AutoCAD and MicroStation to streamline system design. His open-source contributions show a practical full-stack mindset, improving UX and platform compatibility in a Notational Velocity fork by fixing localization and UI bugs. Comfortable commissioning systems and working unsocial hours or travel as required, he blends academic rigour with pragmatic, project-focused delivery. Not obvious at first glance: he actively seeks ways to automate repeat design tasks, turning CAD skills into productivity gains across projects.
