WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING

Turbo Technician at Midland Turbo.

[Bluebear]

Programmer at a company that specialises in vehicle diagnostic systems. I code the dignostic software for each car (mostly Fords, Jaguar, Land/Range Rovers since they all use the same OEM tool) and we aim to get the routines and settings (things like clearing diagnostic codes, special subfunctions such as recalibrating sensors, brake bleeding, DPF regeneration) as close as we can to the manufacturers own tools, if not better. It's not too bad, but coming from a Computer Games Development degree, its a lot less exciting.
