Student

Currently in the final year of my BSc in Computer Science at the University of the West of England (UWE).

I look forward to applying the hard and soft skills I have learnt during my studies to a professional environment.

Throughout my academic journey, I honed my skills in Data Visualisation, Python, Machine Learning, Git, Swift, Jupyter, HTML, CSS, LaTeX, Docker, Agile practices, Django and Kotlin. Additionally, I developed strong competencies in listening, receiving feedback, problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork, written & verbal communication, resourcefulness, creativity, time management, and the ability to learn quickly & pick up new skills.

Interests: Machine Learning, Mobile Development, Data Analytics & Visualisation, Robotics and Computer Vision.
