The personal website of Chris Northwood
I'm Chris Northwood - often found online using the handle laser, or some variation of this. I also hold the radio callsign 2E0NTW, however I've been dormant for some time. I'm hoping to get back into radiosport soon, though.
I currently work for the BBC as a Graduate Software Engineer.
I've completed an MSc in Computer Science with Speech and Language Processing at The University of Sheffield, gaining a distinction. I also have gained a 2:1 for my undergraduate degree in BEng Computer Science at the University of York.
I've worked on multiple award-winning projects, including The Guardian's Student Media Award for Best Website whilst the technical lead on Nouse.co.uk, the UCISA Award for Excellence whilst lead developer on Mobile Oxford, as well as personally winning the Greg Dyke Award for Outstanding Achievement.
Tought luck
Hey laser, that’s not bad for the first time… Just make sure that you get better next time. I hope that you are feeling ok because I don’t want to see another of my friends on a nervous breakdown…
