My time at Instrumentation Technologies #

I started working in Instrumentation Technologies as a student and eventually ended up working there altogether for almost 2 years.

Their core business is selling measurement devices for particle accelerators and their side business consists of creating technological solutions for industries on a project-by-project basis.

Business solutions department #

I started working at the solutions department of Instrumentation Technologies, where I worked on both electronics and low-level programming writing programs both in C and Python.

We worked on several different projects, sometimes multiple in one day. I am very grateful for having had an amazing mentor, who taught me everything from fast prototyping on PCBs to low-level programming and networking. Some projects that I worked on at that time included:

• creating frontend electronics for a water salination plant sensor
• defining technical specifications for a military drone detecting camera
• creating a website for the display of data aggregation and helping with the machine learning algorithm for the detection of vessels on the river Soca
• as well as several other smaller projects

Software development department #

After a little less than a year working there I switched to the software development department, where I was working full time as a frontend developer. I managed to rewrite 80% of the existing frontend code base, building a frontend framework with extensive documentation. The aim of which was:

• faster GUI creation
• better code maintence
• easier addition of new functionalities

It served as the main user interface display for new users interacting with Instrumentation Technology's measurement devices.
