Education
University of Glamorgan
BSc Information Communication Technology, Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications, Technology
2017 - 2024
Grade: 2:1 Activities and societies: Computing Society (Chairman); Christian Union; EU Student Ambassador; Salsa Classes; Student Liaison Person for British Computer Society HQ (Swindon), championing Afro Caribbean Society (ACS's Ally); Served as Faculty's Course Rep For my BSc final year project, which was marked as 1st Class. I created a Generative AI teaching assistant using Ollama (an open-source framework for running AI models locally) on a Digital Ocean droplet (a virtual private server in the cloud). The system used DeepSeq Coder (a specialised AI model trained primarily on programming code) and the Socratic method (teaching through guided questioning). Running on GPU-powered Jupyter notebooks (interactive computing environments), the system featured a web interface with admin controls, tested while teaching students web development using LAMP stack (Linux operating system, Apache web server, MySQL database, PHP programming language). The implementation used retrieval-augmented generation or RAG (a technique to ground AI responses in specific course materials). The project caught Innovate UK Wales' attention for professional training applications, demonstrating how AI can provide accessible computer science education through 1:1 support.

I achieved an ICT BTEC Level 3 Diploma in IT Systems and Troubleshooting. This qualification has paved the way for my aspirations to pursue a degree in Information Communication Technology at university, after my studies at Sixth Form.

Additionally, I volunteered as an assistant in the Modern Foreign Languages department, leveraging my transferable multilingual proficiencies to contribute to the department's activities.
