2014-2016: Geophysicist, Danish Geodata Agency
At the Geodata Agency I was part of the Hydrographic Office, specifically the surveying unit that worked in collaboration with the Danish Navy. My role was to support the surveyors and update their software which was build in-house. An ongoing task was to improve and modernize QA-procedures for surveyors. Througout my employment I was working on a complete overhaul of the data management processes, designing a new database and the surrounding software but unfortunately the agency was relocated and the project was scrapped.
2012-2014: Scientific Software Developer, ST Development
ST Development was a software consultant for Oxford Instruments. Primarily providing services for the electron microscope division, in particular focusing on the Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) method.
At ST Development I was tasked with modernising the Channel 5 software suite, a package written in Delphi Pascal for Windows 2000. In the process I learned to program in Pascal and got a good grasp on building graphical user interfaces. Most importantly, I learned how to familiarize myself with an older code base and what it takes to modernize it without comprimising existing functionality.
