James Byrne
IT Research Software Engineer
Biography
I joined BAS as a member of the 2016 wintering team at Halley as Data Manager, having worked extensively in industry in various roles covering “Devops”, software development and IT infrastructure engineering. I spent the austral winter of 2017 back in Cambridge assisting with technological development for the wintering of the station without human presence. I spent my second summer at Halley in a dual role as Data Manager and Science Coordinator (2017-2018), followed by a winter in Rothera and another summer in Halley, working with the summer team to automate the base for the austral winter in 2019.
In March 2019 I joined the BAS IT Group in Cambridge as a Unix Engineer, working groups across the organisation to support and improve our systems and storage administration, project management, identity management, remote science and scientific computing. As of June 2021 I have moved into the role of Research Software Engineer to work on improving software engineering utilisation both within the organisation and, if possible, the sciences as a whole.
