Shafford Ryle Ltd

I am a computer consultant who has been working as a software engineer for over 15 years. My initial experience was in the communications industry developing embedded software in C. In more recent years I have broadened my experience to include real time process control, Windows MIS systems accessing Oracle, and Web Design. My most recent experiences are described below.

Windows MIS System (ISYS plc)

For over seven years I have been helping with the development of a MIS system for the Printing Industry called 'Keren'. Over the last couple of years I have assisted with the conversion of this system from a simple proprietary database to Oracle. During the past year I have added a Windows interface to this character based product using a combination of C++ Builder and Delphi.

Voice over IP (Paxdata Networks Ltd)

For nearly ten years I have been developing software for Paxdata's range of Bridge and Router products. Over the last 2 years I have written the software to drive the companies new range of Voice over IP products (VIPER). I am currently developing the DSL interface for this range of Routers. I also developed the companies Web Site.

Real Time Process Control (JET Joint Undertaking)

Three years ago I wrote a protection system for the Joint European Torus based in Abingdon. This software, running on an array of DSPs, monitors hundreds of signals, thousands of times a second, looking for anomalies. When a problem is detected the reactor can be shut down before it is damaged. Since writing this software I have been providing maintenance and support for this system.

While working at JET I also developed some real time control software, also running on DSPs, that controlled the injection of gas into the Torus, in such a way as to keep the plasma stable. I also introduced the use of Tk/TCL to the company for the production of visual displays.

Web Design

I have already developed a number of Web Sites:
