about
I have just completed the Bioinformatics postgraduate program at Newcastle University gaining a Pass with Distinction. A research blog about my thesis can be found here and a website giving an overview here. My undergraduate degree was in Computing Science, which I gained 2:1 honours in. During my undergraduate degree I completed a shell step placement at a local newmedia company, where I gained experience in web development. I am looking for potential roles in Bioinformatics, Web Development and/or Software Development.
