About Me
I am a highly motivated final year Computer Science Bsc student at the University of Warwick looking for a graduate position in the software industry. Passionate about technology and software development, eager to learn and develop new skills, and hoping to be a valuable member of your team.
Schooling
At the University of Warwick I have studied a wide variety of computer science modules providing me a solid foundation of the concepts that underpin the technology we rely on everyday. Software engineering, database management, system usability, algorithms, computer graphics and computer security are just a few areas of knowledge. For my dissertation project I developed rt-trainer (https://rt-trainer.com), a flight radio operator training app for a flight school. This taught me project and stakeholder management skills, along with all the technical skills required to design, implement and deploy a modern web app.
