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.
So, obligatory Christmas post. I obtained various things this Christmas – about £70 cash, a DVD (War of the Worlds), 2 CD’s (SOAD – Hypnotize and Mezmorize), 2 pairs of jeans, underwear, socks, t-shirts, considerable amounts of chocolate, a £25 voucher for iTunes and a set of skis, bindings and poles:
Meh. Uni >.<
Only one week left.
Oh, and have to love Argos. I don’t have a job when I come back after Christmas. How nice it is to work for a company for 2 years to be brushed off like that…
3 comments.I have lots of wine, cola and orange juice.
For the win
And if anyone moans about it being too early, stfu 
It’s only going to be up for 2 weeks until we go home anyway.
