After completing my Multimedia Journalism degree at Bournemouth University, I managed to secure a role as a Systems Engineer with Hawk-Eye Innovations, who are at the pinnacle of Sports technology with officiating systems at Cricket and Tennis events worldwide, as well as a Snooker system which is utilised by television companies at major events.
I worked in Tennis and Snooker operations, as well as helping to test their goal-line technology system, which is subject to approval by football’s leading governing body FIFA at the start of July, 2012.
Here are a selection of photos I have compiled during my time with the company.
