Hello... welcome to my personal and professional website. I have spent several years developing a fundamental understanding of HTML and CSS whilst relying upon my JavaScript knowledge to construct this website from the ground upwards.
This webpage provides me the opportunity to post any recent activities and projects I have been working on, simultaneously creating a comprehensive portfolio of my work. Please explore this site for all my current projects and interests whilst feeling free to contact with me regarding any queries using the form at the bottom of the page.
Whilst developing empathetic and interpersonal qualities at university, I can also focus on high-level technical aspects, possessing aptitude and interest in Programming, Ethical Hacking, Web Development, Mathematical Modelling, Virtual Reality and Machine Learning.
2021 - Present
As a mathematics graduate with a particular passion for mathematical modelling, I had always been fascinated and intrigued by the aerospace sector. Nova Systems has given me the perfect opportunity to transfer my mathematical skills into a professional environment while developing my business acumen. In addition to a few of the projects that can be found under the portfolio section below, my attention has been focused on developing an interface between Modelica and Python, as well as solely working to enhance a machine-learning capability using recurrent neural networks. As a simulation engineer I work on systems integration often for flight and mission training devices.
2015 - 2018
Working since the age of 16 has dramatically improved my confidence and interpersonal skills. Dealing with members often proved tricky but was absolutely necessary in this job. I also handled with customer complaints and refunds. During my time there I created relationships with customers and recieved praise for my helpful service.

2017 - 2021
During my time at university I found a unique passion for analytics and first-principaled mathematical modelling. This involves using analytical methods and fundamental physics to describe and evaluate highly-complex systems.

12 GCSEs all A*-C available upon request, including Maths and Geography at A* and Physics, Chemistry and Biology at A. FSMQ at A, as well as an Extended certificate in applied science
Web development has been an interest of mine for a long time, where my curiosity inspires me to delve deeper. This website was made from a blank document with the aim not to simply copy, but instead to understand each element I wanted to implement. As I developed my knowledge I began implementing JavaScript to create what you see before you.
Having been using Python for various projects over the past six years, I have become very accustom to the language and it's complementing modules and packages. Most of the projects you can find here will have been coded in Python 3.7. I currently work with OMPython to create an interface between Python and Modelica, as well as learning sklearn, keras and pytorch to aid in machine learning projects.
I am very experienced with communicating, whether to customers or as a presentation. Having worked at a company primarily based on customer interactions and consulting, I have been able to really develop my interpersonal skills alongside the ability to manage others.
Despite being relatively new to JavaScript, implementing scripts into HTML, and in fact aspects of this website, has been fascinating.
I have been writing documents in Latex for over five years. In that time I have become proficient in generating and styling professional documents. Each full report found on the portfolio page was made using Latex.
With many projects across the technical world using C++, I have only just begun learning these programming languages, having already started development work on the MAK One Suite.
The portfolio provides a varying levels of detail on important and relevant projects I have worked on, and continue to develop. Click on the images below to expand on and explore some of the interesting work I have been fortunate enough to run and be a part of.
