About Me
My growing passion for cutting-edge computing technologies, sparked by industry Keynote events and CES/E3 showcases, led me to delve into unexplored areas of Computer Science—voxels, Machine Learning, and IoT—ultimately influencing my pursuit of a master's degree. Throughout my academic journey, I actively engaged in collaborative software engineering projects, with a focus on applying deep learning to medical imaging, resulting in a workshop paper publication at CVPR on anomaly detection in brain scans. Now a DPhil student at the University of Oxford, I contribute to the Medical Imaging Research Group, leveraging my expertise in software engineering and deep learning to drive innovative solutions in medical imaging and stay at the forefront of technological advancements.

2021
Customer Digital & Data Developer Intern
For my second internship with Barclays, I was placed in the Customer Digital & Data department. This involved working in a small team to research and develop an AWS OCR & NLP proof of concept for a product evaluation. Additionally, I produced flowcharts and project requirements to begin automation of the Bank's "New to Bank" joiner application. Finally, I lead and presented a team pitch outlining improvements to Barclay's Mobile Live Chat Service, regarding a user-driven development problem statement and potentially improving the business customer relations.

2020
Mainframe Connectivity Intern
Through the struggles of the COVID-19 pandemic I was able to secure a valuable internship with Barclays where I was placed in the Global Infrastructure department. Here, I worked with the mainframe connectivity team to complete my technical & non-technical objectives. These involved: migrating internal bank users of a mainframe application to use a load balanced system; amending, adding and removing devices located in branches such as ATM opening times; tidying up decommissioned connections within the mainframe sysplex. Furthermore, the non-technical objectives notably included networking with directors & MD's of Barclays.Software Engineering Group Project

RT Projects Database and Register Solution
For the Software Engineering module in the second year of my degree, my team was tasked to reach out to a local charity and develop software for them. Our Charity, RT Projects, is a creative mental health charity based in Newcastle. They wished to improve their data collection and statistical measurements with a small application.
- Collaboratively developed using Python, Git and Trello
- Worked as team lead - ensured the team was on track
- Primarily developed database integration through linking Python and SQL, as well as Dropbox API interaction
