About Me

Graduate Software Engineer.

Last year I graduated from Durham University in Natural Sciences, completing modules in Computer Science, Mathematics, Philosophy and Physics. I capitalised on my natural curiosity and developed my problem-solving, analytical and statistical skills.

After graduating, to bridge the gap between technical knowledge and practical software engineering experience, I enrolled at the School of Code. Rapidly learning new frameworks and applying them in hackathons and projects, alongside working in agile teams to create real-world solutions for stakeholders has provided a unique advantage over other graduates.

I am now looking to leverage my skills and experience to create meaningful solutions for businesses and consumers.

Playlist Manager

Motivation:

As a Spotify user, I find my playlists become too large to manage easily. I wanted a tool which let me filter my playlists by a given set of genres, and create sub-playlists using these filters.

Solution:

I am creating a web application which allows the user to select one of their Spotify playlists, filter it by genre and create a sub-playlist

Sudoku Solver

Motivation:

I have always enjoyed solving Sudoku puzzles and wanted to test my problem-solving skills and algorithmic thinking.

Solution:

I created an application which retrieves a Sudoku puzzle from the Dosuku API and solves it using a brute force algorithm.
