I am a recent graduate, having achieved first class honours in Computer Science BSc at Goldsmiths, University of London. (August 2022) Below is a short summary of some of the things I learned during my time at uni.
In my first year I learned about recursion, time complexity and various algorithms, also completed multiple mathematical modules like Symbolic and Numerical Mathematics.
During my second year I got to explore various data structures and started full stack web development with node and express.js and continued learning about OOP principles using Java. The main project I developed was Weekado, a LAMP stack application that helps you keep track of routines and habits.
In my final year, I had the chance to explore tools used for data visualisation such as Jupyter and libraries such as matplotlip and pandas. I additionally picked a Game AI module where I learned to develop my own AI for Snake and Tetris whilst getting acquainted with Unity. I also completed my dissertation project, Antmap:
A web-based application for Crowdsourcing Mapping Blank Spots
.
As a developer I create projects using Python, Java and JavaScript, including web applications using the LAMP() stack hosted on a ubuntu server. I enjoy making projects which have niche functionalities that put my problem solving skills to use - and help me learn something new.
This year I focused on getting more experienced with driving, but also on creating some side-projects. I'm also participating in the Summer League (Table Tennis) in both Rotherham and Sheffield.
In my spare time I enjoy playing table tennis and play in Division 3 in Rotherham and Division 4/5 in Sheffield. I also enjoy building lego and playing video games, my favourites include: Hollow Knight, Risk of Rain and Stardew Valley. I also enjoy making lists and journalling.
I am currently looking to gain experience within the Technology industry, specifically Software and Web Development. I am open to roles that will help me improve as a developer and help me learn something new.
A mapping application to collect data and feedback of specific points of interest / locations.
It is currently in development.
Antmap 1.0 ("crowdsourcing mapping blankspots")
A music tracker created using javascript (p5.js). (My first finalised personal project - Year 1 at University)
