Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Gunstone is a Principal Software Development Engineer and Partner at Max Fordham LLP with eight years of experience merging scientific rigor and practical engineering to automate building design and analysis. He leads a small engineering software team that builds Python tools used to speed decision-making and increase transparency in M&E and environmental design across construction projects. His background in chemical physics and early research experience with precision instruments informs a data-driven approach to simulation, control logic modeling and plant optimisation. Equally comfortable shipping code and signing off technical designs, he blends hands-on development with project-level responsibility to drive digital transformation in a traditionally conservative industry. Notably, he translated building-physics simulation workflows into production tools, making complex performance models accessible to practicing engineers.

A generic user interface for running scripts. Data inputs to scripts are defined by standard datafiles (e.g. csv, json), and data files are generated as outputs when the script is run. A timestamped record of script execution is maintained. An ipywdiget user interface allows users to edit script input data and view outputs of script execution.
