MPhys (Hons) - First Class Honours

University of Portsmouth

Physics, Astronomy, and Cosmology

• First year mean grade of 76.7%, Final year mean grade of 79.2%.
• Masters thesis combining computational modelling, first hand observation, and supplemental data to measure exoplanet transits. Developed analytical models of transit timing variation to investigate the orbital properties of non-transiting planets. Results were summarised with a 6000 word dissertation, 10 minute presentation/discussion, and scientific poster.
• Bachelors thesis utilising computational modelling and signal processing to identify and model glitch events within the LIGO data set. Results were summarised with a 5000 word dissertation, 10 minute presentation/discussion, and LaTeX Compatible result list.

MAAS Terraform Provider work

MAAS resource management with Terraform

• The MAAS provider is a Terraform provider that allows you to manage MAAS resources using the Terraform (CRUD) tool. This provider can be used to manage many aspects of a MAAS environment, including networking, users, machines, and VM hosts.
• Terraform registry https://registry.terraform.io/providers/maas/maas/latest/docs

MAAS Ansible Collection work

MAAS resource management with Ansible

• An Ansible Collection for configuring and managing MAAS
• Ansible Galaxy https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/maas/maas/

Packer MAAS work

Packer templates for MAAS OS Images

• Packer templates, associated scripts, and configuration for creating deployable OS images for MAAS

MAAS Ansible Playbook work

MAAS bootstrapping with Ansible

• An Ansible playbook for installing and configuring MAAS

MAAS OpenApi Schema work

MAAS API in OpenAPI form

• This is the documentation for the API that lets you control and query MAAS.
• Uses the OpenAPI Specification, allowing you to create your own language-agnostic MAAS interface.

MAAS work

Metal As A Service

• MAAS transforms physical servers into agile, cloud-like resources. It simplifies the provisioning, monitoring, and management of bare metal servers, enabling remote and automated operations similar to handling virtual machines.
• With MAAS, manual management of individual servers is eliminated. You can remotely deploy operating systems to bare metal servers, allowing quick setup, dismantling, and reconfiguration as needed.
