I am a junior software engineer with a First Class degree in Electronic Engineering, drawn to the mix of logic, creativity, and problem-solving that software development offers. My interest in software grew through university projects and was solidified during General Assembly’s Software Engineering Bootcamp, where I built multiple full-stack JavaScript applications and learned how to take ideas from concept to working product. What matters most to me is building software that feels thoughtful, with code that is clear and reliable, and designed with real users in mind. I enjoy collaborating with others, learning from feedback and refining the details that make a product robust and maintainable. I am now seeking a junior software engineer or developer role where I can keep growing, contribute meaningfully to a team, and work on products that solve real problems.

Engineering Dissertation Project

This project sits at the intersection of engineering and software development. It began as my electronic engineering dissertation, where I built a software application to analyse cardiac responses to music using real physiological data. The project combined signal processing, data analysis and a graphical user interface. It played a key role in shaping my interest in software, in that software is a way to turn complex technical concepts into accessible, interactive tools. I am currently revisiting the project to improve the interface and develop it further into a more polished, user-focused application.

A short overview of my dissertation project, combining physiological data analysis with a custom built software interface.

Interests

My interest in music continues beyond my engineering work and is what originally drew me to explore it as part of my dissertation project. I have always been curious about how music can influence and interact with people, and it is that same curiosity that made music a natural and stimulating focus for my project. Outside of technology, I really enjoy cooking and experimenting with new recipes, as well as pilates and fitness.
