While undertaking a Masters in Neuroscience and Chemistry, I found that the scripting my experiment in MATLAB was very enjoyable. After graduating with a 1st, I trained to become a Software Developer at Makers Academy. I am logical, determined and looking work as a web developer in an environment where I can learn as much as possible.

Masters Degree

• I have found that the key to solving larger problems is to break them down into a series of manageable steps and then to chain those steps together.
• The most obvious example of my applying this principle comes from my time at university.
  • I spent three years designing synthetic pathways to manufacture chemical compounds.
  • This involved modifying a starting compound through a series of individual reactions until the desired product had been produced.

Study Abroad

• I spent my third year of my degree studying at Johns Hopkins University, USA.
• On arriving, I found that people struggled to understand what I was saying, my self-deprecating sense of humour was met with genuine concern for my mental health and the relentless mid-term testing tough.
• However, by the end of the year, I was president of a society and had not received a single grade below an A-.

Study Abroad

• While at Johns Hopkins, I was also determined not to let the opportunity to "study anything I wanted" slip through my fingers.
• On top of my full Neuroscience and Chemistry course load, I took classes in Marketing, Film theory and Screenwriting, eventually writing a screenplay and directing a short film.

President and Co-Founder of JHU European Association

• As president, I led a committee of Frenchmen, Spaniards and Greeks, with a range of English language abilities.
• We organised events providing opportunities for JHU students to discuss travelling and studying in Europe, plus social activities to promote discussion of cultural similarities and differences.
• By inviting, both Americans and exchange students to the events, shy exchange students were able to meet more Americans.
• The year ended with 30 members and a surplus of $106 for future use.

Account Planning Intern

• While working at VCCPme, I converted briefings from given to us by clients and into a strategy.
• While at VCCPme I:
  • Worked on Kia Motors and Southeastern Train accounts.
  • Developed promotional strategies to increase foot traffic through key stations during off-peak periods.
  • Researched and presented analysis of Kia’s competitors’ tactics to promote Business Fleet Sales and Consumer After-Sales.

• OOP, TDD, MVC, SRP
• Agile/XP
• Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, Python3
• RSpec, Jasmine, Jest, unitTest

      Ruby, Git, JavaScript, jQuery, ReactJS, HTML, CSS, Sass, SQL, Python

      including Study Abroad at Johns Hopkins University, USA (August 2014 to June 2015)

• MSci Neuroscience and Organic Chemistry
• 1st Class Honours
  • My Masters project investigated Mirror Neurons, which are thought to play a role in learning, empathy and Autism.
