Background

About James Pascoe

I am software engineer with a strong grasp of hardware and a passion for business. My technical interests focus on the hardware / software interface. In particular, I am interested in how hardware and software can be co-designed to create optimised solutions to complex performance critical problems. I enjoy using a combination of C++17, Python, Git and Jenkins to develop software and Verilog / Formal Methods for hardware design. I have also worked in Java (e.g. my MBA thesis) and would enjoy working in this area more.My business interests center on Finance (particularly markets) and Economics. These areas resonated with me during my MBA at Warwick. Because of this, I completed my thesis with Dr. Chris Doyle in the Department of Economics at Warwick (rated #2 in the UK by the 2016 Complete University Guide). My thesis was awarded a distinction and I was ranked 4th overall out of the 252 students who graduated in my cohort (approximately 450 started the course).In my spare time, I like to study. In particular, I am a fan of all things C++ and am continually fascinated by the language proposals and new features for C++17/20. I am also a member of ACCU and enjoy attending events. In particular, I recently (June 2016) gave a talk to ACCU Bristol on 'Replay'- see the slides below.
