Micro Nav Software Engineering Placement

I completed my Software Engineering placement at Micro Nav, a company specialising in Air Traffic Control (ATC) training simulation software, called BEST. I have loved my time there and had the opportunity to work on two teams, learning a wide variety areas, from software development to aviation. I can't thank everyone enough for the support and experience I have received.

The first half of the placement, I was on the Automation Team. I worked on an automated testing tool, written in Python, for running tests nightly on the latest versions of their simulator and software suite. Over my time there, I took the tool from a basic prototype, to a fully functional tool. For the other half, I was on the Maintenance Team. Working to investigate and resolve bugs in their main C++ codebase, picking up tickets in everything, from the simulation engine, to the user interface, and tools that go along with it.

This photo is of one of their demo simulators, with airspace displays, ground displays, and a 3D tower display, along with the testing tool that I developed. I am proud to have had the opportunity to work in all of these areas, and more.
