About Me
I am a highly motivated final year Computer Science Bsc student at the University of Warwick looking
for a graduate position in the software industry. Passionate about technology and software development,
eager to learn and develop new skills, and hoping to be a valuable member of your team.Schooling
At the University of Warwick I have studied a wide variety of computer science modules providing
me a solid foundation of the concepts that underpin the technology we rely on everyday. Software
engineering, database management, system usability, algorithms, computer graphics and computer
security are just a few areas of knowledge. For my dissertation project I developed rt-trainer
(https://rt-trainer.com), a flight radio
operator training app for a flight school. This taught me project and stakeholder management
skills, along with all the technical skills required to design, implement and deploy a modern
web app.
