Here are some of my projects…

  • Wavedash – Swim & sail weather dashboard

    Wavedash – Swim & sail weather dashboard

    After a summer of checking 5 different weather apps to see when the weather would be right, I had a vision… What if I could whip open my phone and see right away whether what days would be good to go on or in the sea? Off I went. Check it out on GitHub!

  • Linear motion detection

    Linear motion detection

    My 3rd year dissertation ended up showing feasibility in a novel method of linear motion detector by accelerometer. Check it out on GitHub!

  • Predicting bird conservation status with neural networks

    Predicting bird conservation status with neural networks

    The project for my 3rd year Learning from Data module. The aim was to determine the extent to which machine learning could explain & reinforce human expert decisions on UK bird conservation status. Check it out on GitHub!
