Rolls-Royce Presentation

I had to give a presentation today to some big-wigs in Rolls-Royce. The lead engineer for RR Indianapolis and his direct staff wanted to "get to know" me. His direct staff include the engineering heads of all the different programs and departments of Rolls-Royce. They have been inviting young people to speak once in a while at their weekly staff meetings. It was a good opportunity.

I was only asked late yesterday to put something together, so it was somewhat short notice. Luckily it was only a 10 minute presentation so wasn't a big deal. I just spoke about what I do and what my interests are, both inside and outside of work. I also gave some details on one of the major projects I've worked on since I started at Rolls-Royce.

I think the presentation went well. The only glitch I had was that some data that I showed was export controlled. There was one Brit in the room that couldn't see it, so I just skipped ahead a couple slides and spoke from memory. Oops! No big deal though. It was fun.
