PROFILE

Paul Hathaway

Worked on the DiamondLightSource/dodal and mx-bluesky repositories to enhance beamline configuration, device management, and detector integration for the i24 beamline. Addressed configuration drift by updating device registration logic and aligning beamline identifiers, ensuring reliable deployments. Refactored backend Python code to deprecate Pilatus detector support in favor of Eiger, updating configuration files, documentation, and unit tests. Improved user experience by refining UI elements and parameter handling for serial beamline operations. Strengthened data integrity through robust error handling in the Nexus writer, leveraging Python scripting, EPICS, and embedded systems expertise to deliver maintainable, production-ready solutions across multiple environments.
