I am a software developer with four years experience working as a Data Scientist in marine data management with the British Oceanographic Data Centre, as well as full stack web development experience in my most recent role with the data-focused tech startup CGscope. At BODC I gained experience working with scientific data in a variety of formats and disciplines, primarily using Matlab and Oracle SQL. I built upon this experience during my research masters with the University of Bristol in Atmospheric Chemistry, where I gained experience performing a computational research analysis using Python and the popular data libraries NumPy, SciPy, Pandas and xarray.
Since finishing my masters I have been working as a full-stack web developer with CGscope, where I have been exposed to some of the latest front-end and back-end frameworks, experience I am supplementing by undertaking personal projects in my spare time, which I believe are essential to gain a good understanding of modern web development. I am looking for a position which will enable me to grow as a person in both my experience and knowledge of software development tools and philosophies, as well as more rounded none-tech related personal development.
