Overview
I am currently a PGR student in the school of Computer Science and Informatics working on an MPhil funded by the KESS2 scheme. My research is primarily focused on improving the wellbeing of elderly people while living at home.
Prior to becoming a PGR student I studied a Master's degree in Advanced Computer Science and a Bachelor's degree in Applied Software Engineering, both at Cardiff University.
Knowledge Economy Skills Scholarships (KESS2) is a pan-Wales higher-level skills initiative led by Bangor University on behalf of the Higher Education sector in Wales. It is part-funded by the Welsh Government’s European Social Fund (ESF)

Teaching
I have provided assistance in lectures and labs on both the undergraduate and postgraduate software engineering courses. The modules that I have primarily supported have been focused on Python, Java and DevOps.
I have also presented lectures on how to effictively utilise version control systems, such as Git.
