About me
I am a final year Computer Science student at the University of Edinburgh and aim to work in various applied and interdisciplinary fields such as bioinformatics, robotics, and renewable energy.
A diverse range of work experience has put my broad skill set into action in a number of contexts.
It has given me invaluable background in how technology is applied in different types of businesses.
I have over 5 years of experience working closely with clients to develop bespoke, cross-platform mobile and web apps.
If you'd like to work with me, feel free to get in touch via any platform.
Outside of Computer Science, I am keen on doing outdoor seasonal work in Canada and Europe and enjoy songwriting/production, salsa dancing, and everything outdoors!

HackTheBurgh X: AirMed
Mar 2024
In 24 hours, my team developed a Chrome extension that tracks posture and alerts the user when they start slouching. Our project, AirMed, won prizes in three categories: Most Entrepreneurial Potential, Innovative Tech for Everyday Challenges, and Best Use of Cloud.
The extension was built with HTML on the front-end and used the laptop webcam to send images to the back-end for classification via AWS API Gateway. This was connected to Sagemaker which used a fine-tuned ImageNet model to classify the images and detect slouching. We used our own training data to fine-tune the model by taking videos of ourselves with good/bad posture.
