Developed an integration test framework which greatly reduced the frequency of live bugs. Lead accessibility training, research, and ensured products met WCAG AA standards. Worked with team members during shared hours to plan and develop features at a high level of quality. Mentored and performed code reviews for teammates.
Lead weekly planning scrums. Developed plans to ensure new features are developed efficiantly and with high quality. Developed and maintained processes (eg CI) to ensure code quality and reliablity using tools to automate linting, testing, and code coverage requirements. Mentored and worked with team members to develop style guides, and maintain code efficiency. Participated in candidate interviews.
Work in a team to develop and maintain key client-facing software. Quickly respond to and resolve bug reports, by isolating and fixing issues in the software, or liasing with relevant team members to ensure bug resolution. Implement new features, write tests, and ensure product stability and validity. Develop features in tandem with other team members.
Conducted corpus research to develop a useful understanding of context-specific language use. Developed an online learning platform for engineering students learning English. Helped design questions for the Test of English for Thai Engineers and Technologists (TETET).
An "as-simple-as-possible" pan and zoom library for canvas 2D. Optional functionality is exposed through plugins. Available as the NPM package @dougalg/pan-handler

CEEM is a student vocabulary learning tool based on applied linguistics research focusing on technical engineering vocabulary. Includes an api written in Python as well as an interactive frontend written in JavaScript.
An MacOS input method for Thai. A user can type romanized Thai, and te input method will convert it to Thai characters. This was inspired by standard Japanese input methods which use romanization. This project is no longer maintained.
A tool to help applied linguistics researchers easily perform a variety of statistical word frequency analyses against data from the British National Corpus (BNC). Visit the Key-BNC website.
A tool for English teachers in Japan to share lesson plans and lesson materials. Developed a theme using Wordpress with file upload, and login functionality.
