Summary
Samuel Jackson is a final-year MEng software engineering student at Aberystwyth University on track for a First, seeking graduate developer roles with 13 years of work experience across academia, research labs, and customer-facing retail. He has strong C++ and Python skills, practical exposure to C, Java, C#, Haskell and Qt, and hands-on experience building GUIs, algorithm systems, and instrument support for the Mantid data-analysis application. As a demonstrator and student advisor he honed mentoring, assessment and communication skills by teaching programming, running drop-in clinics, and signing off practical work. Industrial placements at STFC involved full-stack maintenance, migrating support tooling to Freshdesk with SSO, and introducing Git workflows—demonstrating both legacy system upkeep and modern tooling adoption. He brings a pragmatic blend of research-grade engineering and people-centered teaching experience, comfortable moving between low-level device work (Arduino, robots) and user-facing software.
