I've been into technology for a long time, starting as an IT practitioner which I got into due to solving broken things. I also enjoy playing guitar and writing music, playing with desktop linux, weird David Lynch films and playing video games.

MSc Data Science

During my masters, first of all it was all done remotely due to a global pandemic - whilst this doesn't sound too bad it did require me to upgrade my custom built PC.

During the course, I covered a range of subjects which are as follows:

  • Applied Statistics for Data Science
  • Data Mining and Statistical Forecasting
  • Project Management and Research Methodology
  • Principles Of Computing
  • Applied Machine Learning and Deep Learning
  • Data Engineering and Applications

Whilst finishing off the MSc by carrying out a dissertation project with NHS Wales: Delivery Unit. This project is titled 'Predictive Modelling of Demand and Capacity in General Practice (GP) And Primary Care'.

During the dissertation I was tasked to explore open-source datasets and carry out some analysis using the R programing language.
