      In my job, I haven’t been soley responsible for it but the most significant thing I’ve helped make is an Air to Air Refueling Pod for a tanking aircraft. See the link below;

      A really interesting project with quite a few safety considerations, as you are effectively designing and trying to safety assure a flying petrol pump!

      Hey!

      Great question, can’t say mine is as cool as Pete’s air to air refuelling pod. I designed a camera designed for use by the healthcare services of countries to monitor diabetes patients through the progression of the disease and allow doctors and consultants to make more accurate decisions based on more accurate information.

      Sadly I can’t link you to anything about it, since it is still in development!
