Software Engineer

Bobby joined McFarland Consulting in early 2019 as a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Associate after graduating in Computer Science from Northumbria University Newcastle in 2018.

During his time at university, Bobby has completed work and study placements in China and Denmark specialising in data analysis, web server hosting and back end software development. His computing interests also include embedded software, Internet of Things and network technologies.

Bobby’s KTP focused on Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) solutions making remote monitoring more accessible across a wide array of sensors.  He has undertaken many research packages which included the development of low-power and off-grid data acquisition systems to monitor the strain and temperature of existing structures.

In his current role as a Software Engineer, Bobby supports the SHM team within the company developing bespoke solutions using a wide range of innovative sensors and analytical tools.
