Databuild Ltd.
I was employed part time as an assistant analyst by Databuild Ltd, a market research
company in Birmingham. While working for Databuild, I introduced a number of more
efficient ways to use their statistics package - for example, using Python to automate
effectively some time consuming tasks.

Paxton and Whitfield
I had a Saturday job as a sales assistant at Paxton and Whitfield, a luxury cheese shop,
for which I had to acquire extensive product knowledge and customer service skills.

PROJECTS C++ Machine Learning Library
I've recently started work on a C++ library to build machine learning based data
solutions in various scripting languages. The algorithms used include SVM, linear
regression, naive bayes and deep belief networks.

Python Computer Vision
I have an early stage project which uses Python and OpenCV to classify images using
SURF feature extraction and classification algorithms.

CATAM Projects
As part of my university course, I wrote a variety of programs to compute solutions to
mathematical problems. These problems covered areas including optimisation, linear
algebra, probability, graph theory and cryptography and were solved using both Matlab
and C++.
