Paul Hathaway
Worked on the DiamondLightSource/dodal and mx-bluesky repositories to deliver features and fixes that improved beamline device control, configuration reliability, and experiment uptime. Focused on backend development and hardware integration, this work included updating motion stage and laser control logic, refining device registration, and enhancing error handling for data writing. Used Python and EDL to implement robust asynchronous programming patterns and maintainable code refactoring, while updating EPICS PV references to align with evolving hardware. Addressed detector integration by deprecating legacy devices and standardizing on Eiger, ensuring consistent operation and reducing manual intervention across deployment environments and user-facing interfaces.
