Experiences
Graduate Developer, Cerulean Labs UK
June 2022 – July 2023
Developer on the CoCreate app (formerly known as Spaces) an innovative 2D + 3D iPad app tailored for architectural design. Leveraged proprietary internal technology and event-driven frameworks to drive seamless functionality. Successfully undertook various responsibilities, including document management, precise 2D & 3D rendering, seamless Pencil input interpretation via PencilKit, efficient app localisation, and adeptly resolving geometric challenges, while ensuring thorough bug fixing.
Lab Assistant, Swansea University
2018-2022
Supported teaching several computer science modules including Human-computer interaction, user experience, web applications, hardware and devices and embedded systems. This included running and supporting assessments of coursework, in-person labs and presentations.
Research Intern, Swansea University
2018
Supported a collaborative research project linking Swansea University with Morrison Hospital’s Brain Trauma Centre. This work focused on enabling participants diagnosed with cognitive impairments to gain basic electrical and programming skills with 3D printers, programming and electronic sets
Responsibilities included: developing all activities carried out by the participants, ensuring it was achievable based on their level of impairment; ordering of components and equipment; and tracking project budgets.
During my time employed as a teaching assistant at Swansea University, I supported teaching several computer science modules including Human-computer interaction (second year); user experience (third year); web applications (third year and masters level), hardware and devices (third year and masters) and embedded systems (third year and masters). I have also assisted with marking duties.
