Personal Profile

I’m an ambious and self-motivated individual who has a natural curiosity to learn and puts a lot of care and effort into their work. Having been introduced to coding through Bioinformatics, during my Biochemistry degree, I was captivated by it. Nearly two years later I have nearly completed a coding bootcamp and am eager to start a career in data science.

Experience

Accelerate Bootcamp

2018 - Present
Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

A coding bootcamp where we cover in detial the technologies required to become a full stack developer, through various coding orientated projects.

  • Experience with various node.js frameworks such as express.js.
  • Working with frontend technologies including React.js, jQuery, HTML and CSS
  • Developed my skills using databases such as SQL and MongoDB

London Biohackspace

2017 - 2018
Hackspace, Bethnal Green

The biohack space is a community run molecular biology lab that provides access to equipment for DIY biology projects. Here I have refined the following skills:

  • Conducted experiments such as genetics testing and bacterial transformations with other members of the lab.
  • Expanded my analytical skills through designing experiments and refined problem solving abilities by working with limited resources.
  • Lab skills such as preparation of solutions, centrifugation, transilluminator and PCR

Projects

Reddit Chatbot

Current
Using a dataset of all reddit comments from 2007-2015, I intend to create multiple chatbots using machine learning (specfically RNNs). I've clustered the data into similar categories using LDA. My hope being that each cluster will create chatbots with different 'personalities'.

Educational Platform

Current
Accelerate
Working with a small team to invent an educational platform that allows people to easily share knowledge and skills in an interactive way. The goal of the project is to present information in a way that is easily accessable and rewarding for both students and content creators.

Intercultral Impact Awards

2017
Univeristy of Southampton
Worked with students from different cultures to organise events such as a cultural festitival to promote intercultural awareness within the Southampton community.
