I am especially drawn to the team’s work on network and link modelling for aerospace and satellite connectivity: my Computer Science degree and final-year capstone focused on building software for an aerospace-connectivity modelling scenario. The role’s combination of practical backend engineering, modelling and structured mentoring is a strong match for the work I want to develop further. For my capstone, I developed a C++ backend prototype that processed large-scale topology inputs and returned network analysis results. I applied linear algebra and mathematical logic to refine the modelling algorithms, then checked outputs against hand-calculated cases to find edge conditions and improve reliability. I profiled parallel processing across CPU configurations and built a small CUDA demonstration, documenting the performance trade-offs across compute environments. My research assistant work gave me a complementary foundation in distributed services and reliability. I created Go services for a supervised prototype that examined network measurements and large-scale data processing across simulated nodes. I modelled latency and dropped messages, then compared service behaviour under repeatable tests to locate reliability issues. Across these projects, I used Git, automated testing and peer review, diagnosed defects, and documented designs, workflows and project milestones. I would bring Meridian Signalworks practical experience with C++ and Go , alongside project-level work with Docker, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure and introductory GPU processing. I hold a BSc in Computer Science and the right to work full-time in the United Kingdom. I am keen to contribute these foundations to your engineering team and grow through the broader responsibilities and mentoring described in the role. Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my project and research experience can contribute to Meridian Signalworks’ network-modelling work.
