What is your role in B-Secur and what does that involve?
I am an Embedded Software Engineer in B-Secur. My job involves designing and developing software libraries based on B-Secur’s ECG algorithms. It includes enhancing the software for efficiency, quality and integrating it into the hardware.
What were your first impressions of B-Secur?
I first heard of B-Secur at a presentation in Queen’s in approx. 2015 and again in 2019 for a university project. On both occasions, I was really impressed with how fresh and innovative the technology was. I was amazed at how much B-Secur had grown and achieved in such a short time frame.I thought moving to a new company in the current climate would be really challenging as in-person interactions would be either limited or non-existent. Since joining the company, I have been really encouraged by how welcoming and supportive the whole team have been. The inductions performed by managers across the company have been effective in helping new starts become integrated into the company. I very quickly felt like part of the team and look forward to building rapport with other members of the company whom I am yet to meet.I joined the company in January and in that time, I feel I have dramatically expanded my knowledge and skillset.
What are you looking forward to as you settle into B-Secur life?
I’m keen to see and take advantage of the opportunities that arise here at B-Secur. I’m also keen to see how the company contributes to the advancement of technology applications in the future.I’m looking forward to progressing within my role, becoming more efficient and effective. I look forward to visualising how my contributions have gone towards achieving company goals and projects.
