Summary

I am a development focused Software Engineering and Physics Graduate, with significant experience in app/web development and research. My most impressive achievement is when a program I helped write was used on the ISS during a competition, alongside a number of projects I developed during my university career. I am excited to take the experience I've developed from these projects into the workforce to further improve myself with a business that promises challenging software problems and opportunity.
