Meet our people

Jada - Software developer

I work in a protective monitoring team, monitoring data streams. I look at Jira tickets, talk to customers about bugs found and I work with frontend design/prototyping tools. Most of what I do needs to be secret, so I can’t fully explain how exciting and rewarding my job actually is, but it really is!

Mae - Business relationship manager

I started in project management at HMGCC and now I work on building trust and engagement with industry and academia, supporting initiatives to pull through new technology and ideas to HMGCC. I love meeting and collaborating with people and doing my bit for our mission in a corporate role.

Lara - PCB engineer

I work in a small team but as R&D lead I look after and solve the problems and quirky things that occur. I look into new materials, technology, email scientists from around the world, travel to meet industry experts and play with chemistry when I get back.

Dan - Software engineer

I discovered HMGCC via the CyberFirst summer internship. After university I joined as a software engineer. I've had so many opportunities including overseas training and conferences. One thing that brings me to work every day is hearing about the impact of the work I have directly contributed to.
