Previous Work

University Work

• Dissertation - In 2012 I completed my dissertation at the University of Sheffield; titled "Streaming Event Detection in Social Media Streams".
• PHASE EMRS - As part of my 2nd year course a team of me and three fellow students developed an Electronic Medical Records System (EMRS) for a charity which runs remote health posts in Nepal. Ours was picked to be used in Nepal and we continued to work for the charity on the system after the course had finished.
