Off the top of my head, just listing a handful of various projects; a commercial static analyser, various GUIs, a broadcast industry projectile tracking and information presenting system, a multiple networked radar (and similar) network data fusion project, broadcast automation software, various data processing and display software sets, software simulating mechanical movement for artificial test data generation, image processing and morphing. I could go on, but hopefully that gives a flavour. A whole big bag of things.
