Meet The Ignys Team

Daniel is proficient in bare metal software and Realtime Operating Systems and has delivered projects in a variety of sectors including industrial control systems and Medical testing equipment. Dan is very interested in astronomy.

Poppy works with our clients to help them achieve their goals. Poppy's background includes teaching Design & Technology before she started her career in sales. She enjoys working on both small and large scale projects with a keen eye for detail and organisation at every stage. "When I'm not working you can either find me half way up a mountain or in my workshop doing woodwork or silversmithing."

Dr. Nicholas Shattock holds a P.h.D. in Power Electronics from the University of Nottingham and worked for a number of years as a Research Fellow. He loves the challenge that comes with developing electronic systems and is happiest in front of an oscilloscope.

John has 40 years experience in process control, operating systems, enterprise modelling, embedded systems and software engineering. He's happiest when deep in software projects ranging from bare metal micros to fully-fledged systems.

Richard is an entrepreneur with a keen interest in new product development and taking on even the most challenging of projects. He has been in the electronics industry for over 20 years in a variety of R&D, engineering, project management, and Technical Director roles. “Outside of work I’m a keen, but not necessarily proficient, musician playing guitar and bass, at one point I was in a band that recorded an album! I love getting away outdoors in our touring caravan or just with my stand up paddleboard on a local canal or river.”

Steven has a passion for electronics and has a personal interest in analogue electronics, microprocessors and embedded systems. He’s proficient in system design, prototyping, design, testing, full production, worldwide product approvals (ETSI and FCC) and safety critical applications. In his spare time Steven can be found modifying and building 3D Printers.

Cezar completed an Electrical and Electronic Engineering MSc at the University of Nottingham after completing a BSc at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Cezar does 3D printing and laser cutting in his spare time as well as running a blog about his projects.

Stephen is our engineering manager who has a very strong background in driving continuous improvement within engineering teams. He has over 10 years experience in electronics with real exposure to R&D and test environments. He completed his Electronic Technology degree at Coventry University. Stephen is very much a leader, inside and outside of work. He teaches handball at a high level. “I like to actively encourage each team member to get the most out of their skills. I feel that the right balance of team community and responsibility is critically important for creating the ultimate experience for customers. I also work hard to maintain an excellent working environment for my team.”

Hannah has a strong technical background having worked within the Telecommunications, Manufacturing, and Legal sectors. She even has a degree in Meteorology and has worked on a NPD team for healthcare products. "In my spare time you'll usually find me creating digital illustrations or watching world cinema."

Stephen has a PhD from Southampton and a first-class degree in electronics engineering. He has wide ranging experience in video Verilog and FPGA design. Outside of work Stephen likes running in beautiful places such as the Peak District. During his time as a Research Fellow he looked at miniaturising and packaging of low noise, narrow linewidth lasers and developing the integrated optical fibre platform. Stephen Lynch says “It is great to join the team and I’m excited to start software projects and help my new customers at Ignys reach their full potential”

Toby Lane joined our team as a hardware engineer. He completed his degree in 2021 following a year’s placement at a product design and development consultancy with clients worldwide. Whilst there he worked on projects in a wide range of sectors including medical, transport and consumer electronics. Toby studied at the University of Sheffield and his skillset includes Altium Designer, Analog circuit design and electronics engineering. Outside of work he loves getting out into the great outdoors in the Peak District. He is a big fan of bouldering. Toby says of his first week at Ignys “I've really enjoyed it so far and I’m looking forward to getting my teeth into a project.”

Elias has joined our hardware team as an Electronics Engineer and has a Masters Degree from Minho University in Portugal. His skill sets include Hardware Design with microcontrollers and FPGAs. Elias also has a particular interest in Power Electronics and Railways, especially IGBT driving and control-load electrical isolation through optical fibre interfaces. After spending a number of years acquiring knowledge, as a Hardware Designer at a company specialising in power semiconductor devices and working for a global East Midlands company with a strong focus on digital display technology, Elias joined Ignys. Elias says “As engineer, I’m driven by the excitement of seeing my projects coming to life.” Outside of work Elias enjoys spending time with family and doing archery and sightseeing.
