Research Software Engineers - Who What Why and a Django API
summary
Research software engineering sits between research and engineering and focuses on three month projects that deliver concrete tools. Project specifics: build an offline-capable Ionic app plus a web admin using Django and Django REST framework (DRF auth), Bootstrap and Highcharts for the UI. A single developer handles full stack, tests the app in hospital wards, presents results to the NHS Trust, and ships a working mobile + web system despite poor Wi‑Fi and limited academic tech knowledge.
