Walton High, Milton Keynes | Oct 2023 - Dec 2024

Computer Science Teacher

Teach computer science to high school students in preparing to take external examinations. Lead students to develop and hone their skills in planning and designing, computational modelling and thinking, optimising processes, and data-driven decision-making. Teach with the future in mind - plan, design and deliver lessons in the form of group research, teamworking real-world projects, and hands-on skill development.

THE BEDFORD ACADEMY | Sep 2019 - Aug 2023

Mathematics & Science Teacher

In this job, I educate high school students on mathematical and scientific skills/ principles using real-world / application-based examples whilst improving learning opportunities. I plan and deploy multiple technologies, covering gaming, computational simulation, and interactive visualisation activities to engage students via diverse approaches. Furthermore, I ensure the utilisation of an advanced curriculum that reflects the student body's diverse educational, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds. I identify and meet the diverse needs of students by leveraging innovative techniques in mathematics, science, and computing. I manage and maintain the classroom environment by applying robust leadership expertise. The values I have driven in this role include the following: - Optimised student learning and performance by delivering high-level academic support. - Improved progress of low-ability learners by adopting a hands-on / context- based approach in teaching. - Enhanced student interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) through participation in middle and high school national science competitions.

University of East London | Jun 2021 - Jul 2023

Student - Masters of Science, Computer Science

Advanced Software Engineering: I studied advanced concepts in software design and architecture, development lifecycle and project management, and advanced/current issues facing software engineers, such as ethical considerations, privacy and data protection. Big Data Analytics: I surveyed "big data" concepts, roles, tools and technologies currently being used in the industry, carried out practical work with modern "big data" storage and analytics processing technologies (Hadoop, Hive, PySpark and SQL), and worked on projects involving the development of machine learning algorithms for large messy datasets. Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision: I studied statistical learning and traditional machine learning algorithms and their theoretical foundations and applications. I also learned about the development of "deep learning" development, various available frameworks, and how deep learning models compare with traditional machine learning models. Used python programming, OpenCV, and TensorFlow (with the Keras API) to process and develop convolutional neural networks for image classification tasks. Cloud Computing: I studied cloud computing fundamentals and characteristics, deployment and delivery models, advanced architectures and security mechanisms. Dissertation: I studied the use of geometry-aware physics-informed neural networks and network operators for solving problems in nonlinear dynamics.
