I'm currently in my 4th year of an MEng in Computing, with a strong interest in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Throughout my university journey, I've gained valuable software engineering experience through industry internships, where I had the chance to work on real-world projects and develop practical skills that complement my studies. My passion also lies in algorithmic trading, where I love exploring how technology and data can be used to make better decisions in the financial markets.

Upon realising that the A-level Physics textbooks available lack informaion for thorough understanding, last year, I co-authored and published a 90-page A2 Physics notes. It covers a lot of super-curricular formulae derivation and exam-oriented notes, as well as a 3-page definition list. Upon completion, I created an online platform, using Wix, to market the notes, as well as fully automating the transaction process. The notes were completed using LaTeX, this is where I have picked up my LaTeX skills, and I continue to use LaTeX in my current university assignments. Do check it out using the link below!

For my year one C project, my team and I built an emulator and assemblre for a subset of the ARM instruction set. For our extension, we created a game using the SDL library in C, which allows users to learn assembly language. We achieved full marks and ranked top 5 for the project.

One of the problems faced by a lot of doctors is getting patient medical information when a patient visits the doctor. To tackle this, I worked in a group of 4 to develop a prototype of a system, comprising of a mobile app (for patients) and website (for doctors), enabling seamless sharing of patient medical history with doctors and facilitating continuous patient monitoring. Check out our portfolio below!

This project was our Year 3 Software Engineering Group Project and won the David Howarth Group Project Prize. We developed a multiplayer, location-based augmented reality (AR) game designed to blend digital experiences with the physical world. The game encourages outdoor exploration by using mobile devices to interact with AR-enriched environments. Key features include object recognition challenges, peer-to-peer networking, augmented reality, geolocation tracking and adaptive gameplay.

Learning to code can be incredibly frustrating, especially when first making the jump from natural language, where meaning is often inferred from context, to writing lines of code, which must always be precise. We wanted to bridge that gap and make the transition easier, introducing algorithmic thinking via natural language. This led to Logiquest, a classroom-based tool to do just that in an intuitive, visually appealing manner.
