Analyst (Technology)
August 2021-Present
A member of the 2021 graduate scheme cohort. I had my first rotation in the ETF Systems team, where I contributed towards the successful launch of the new i500 product. I gained more exposure to Java development, as well as new technologies, such as Spring and Proto files. My second rotation, within the AlphaGen Technology team, has introduced me to industrial-scale Python development and improved my ability to break down complicated tasks into smaller sub-tasks.

Notable Projects
ICarus
My final year project as part of my degree. ICarus is an interactive tool to assist with building type system derivation proofs for programming languages. This was my first experience of working independently on a large-scale project that I had to completely design from scratch. I also gained valuable knowledge of how to evaluate different programming languages and frameworks to choose the most appropriate for the task.
WACC Compiler
A project undertaken during the Spring Term of Year 2. We built a compiler in Java, for a basic language called WACC, using ANTLR as a parser. This was my first experience in a large-scale Java project as all the non-ANTLR components were built from scratch. This project allowed for the solidifying of my knowledge of Git.
Pintos Operating System
A project undertaken during the Autumn Term of Year 2. We used a skeleton project provided by the Department and added to this to produce a text-based Operating System, designed to run on a single core, with very little RAM. This was a very useful way to apply the knowledge gained in my Operating Systems course, solidifying my understanding.
Contract Cheating Analysis
A program analysing projects posted on contract work sites to spot trends in work deemed to be plagiarism. This included locations of posters and those doing the work, as well as changes in price.
ARM Project
A project undertaken during the Summer Term of Year 1. It consisted of building an ARM emulator and assembler, which my group extended by adding a debugger. This project allowed me to improve my knowledge of programming in C.
