About Me

I'm a Software Engineering student at Bournemouth University, Currently in my final year studying Software Quality and Testing, Software Systems Modelling and Advanced Development.

I'm also a semi-avid runner, with ever fluctuating goals of running a half/full marathon.

Projects

Japan Journal

C# JavaScript jQuery .NET Entity Framework

I built a journal for my girlfriend who at the time was doing her placement year in Japan! I used a range of technologies to create a website hosted on Azure to allow for the creation of simple journal entries alongside related images that were privately hosted on imgur. A large part of this project was trying to reduce the server-side load to allow for the cheapest possible hosting option.

Rock-Paper-Scissor AI Game

Java Game Dev AI

First year assignment to build any game with a GUI element. I built a Rock, Paper, Scissors game with a AI twist. The player could choose the type of AI they wanted to play against, this ranged from a simple 'random' AI which would have a 33% chance of choosing anything. A 'State' AI which used a pre-defined state diagram to choose its next play. Finally a 'Intelligent' AI which built a pattern from previous plays and would try to predict which move you'd make next.

Battleships

Java Game Dev Android

Second year assignment to build a Battleships game as an Android App. This project was a very nice introduction to Android, I utilised many of the 'neat' little features such as vibrating the phone when you hit another ship. Also had a few fun experiences of memory management! Who would've thought I'd have to do that in Java?!

Digitising a medical clerking system with multimodal interaction support

Project Management node.js JavaScript SQL Publishing

As part of my final year at Bournemouth University, I am required to partake in a final year project. For mine I will be converting the paper-based systems that the RBCH currently uses. I will be liaising with a client at the Hospital and will be using Drupal to create a fully functional and usable prototype.
