  Hi,
  
  I worked at Philips Research for 11 years on multimedia, artificial intelligence for games, TV, and 3d-graphics, then Imagination Technologies who do chips for 3d graphics and video in games consoles and phones. Now I’m at altera, who make a type of chips that you can turn into lot of different things after you’ve built it into a product – car safety systems, video, lots of stuff to do with mobile phones, motors, solar power etc.
  
  I’ve had a few other jobs as a student, shovelling sand or delivering letters.

  I’ve not worked for many different companies, although my last job changed names no less than three times in the time I was there! I joined Westinghouse Rail Systems, who became Invensys Rail until they were bought out and became Siemens Rail Automation! I think they’ll be keeping that name for a while now. I now ‘work’ for the University of Bristol as a PhD student, but I am also self-employed as a contractor to earn a little extra money.
  
  While I was a student I worked for the likes of Maplin, Cattles and in the pie stand at Hampden Park football ground – I can’t remember who the company was called though!

  I’ve worked for Sheffield University, Manchester Metropolitan University and Sheffield Hallam University (who I currently work for).
  
  As well as that, I’ve worked with Rolls-Royce on a few projects, ALSTOM, Thales, and several smaller companies.
