Gary Smith

Senior Researcher

Gary Smith is a senior software engineer at the Nimbus research with a keen interest in the internet of things (IoT), device communication and data collection. Graduating with a certificate of excellence for best academic performance, he completed a first class B.Sc honours degree in Web Systems Development from the Computer Science department in University College Cork (UCC) in 2012. As an undergrad, he was awarded the UCC scholarship for outstanding academic performance.

Within Nimbus, he acts as an applications software engineer for a myriad of domains, performing full stack development in web, mobile, tablet and micro-controller applications. He has experience, applying a broad range of low-to-high level languages and frameworks in real world industrial applications. He has a background in ingesting data flows from heterogenous systems and integrating same with micro-services and RESTful API’s.
