2016, Jobs and the future!

If this year has taught me anything, it has taught me this : I am not very good at blogging. 

Some day I might get into the habit of actually updating here regularly with projects and other cool stuff that I'm tinkering about with, but until then here is a basic life update with a vague promise to continue updating! 

So a lot has happened since October 2015 and finishing the MSc. A new year has dawned, new technologies and games have been released, VR has become a lot bigger and I now have a job! 

Relatively recently I have started a job at Codeplay Software as a Software Engineer. Codeplay are a group of heterogeneous systems experts who develop tools, as well as other projects, targeting GPUs and other hardware. They do a lot of other things so please check out the site for more information : https://www.codeplay.com/ 

Since starting at Codeplay in April I've started working on the ComputeAorta project and had the great opportunity to visit the Silicon Milk Roundabout tech job fair in London, meeting lots of interesting potential applicants. So far I'm having a great time and look forward to learning much more as well as expanding and contributing my skills in my role.

Prior to this I worked as a Lab Associate for Disney Research in Edinburgh from the New Year up until starting at Codeplay. Whilst there I got the chance to see and work on a few interesting projects that Disney is working on. I look forward to seeing how the projects I contributed prototypes to turn out in the years to come! 

As such, 2016 has been a pretty busy but fulfilling year for me so far and I'm looking forward to having this trend continue. Lots of stuff due on the horizon and I'm hoping that once I am more settled I will be able to better divide my time up between personal projects, gaming and work. 

Here's hoping that I will finally get back into these posts with more interesting updates about some of the stuff I'm working on. Until that time, thanks for reading!
