SUMMARY

I graduated from University College London (UCL) with a Master's degree in Software Systems Engineering. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence with First-Class Honours from Aberystwyth University in Wales, UK. During my undergraduate studies, I was awarded the Annual Best Group Award in the Software Engineering module. In addition, I have experience as a teaching assistant and research assistant, during which I accumulated extensive practical and theoretical knowledge in algorithm design and computer vision research. I have also published SCI Q2 academic papers in the fields of computer vision and deep learning. My technical skills encompass C/C++, Java, Python programming, and machine learning, developed through a solid academic foundation and hands-on project experience. Furthermore, I have practical experience in application development using the GPT API, enabling me to apply cutting-edge technologies to solve real-world problems.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE

NHS Unmanned Aerial Drug Delivery

Nov 2023 - May 2024

Apian Ltd

London, UK

  • Team Member of the Drone Landing Zone Recognition Development Subgroup: This was one of the major group projects in the Software Systems Engineering program at University College London, conducted in collaboration with Apian, a local UK company providing drone delivery technology solutions. The project was divided into two subgroups: one was responsible for developing a system to identify obstacles in urban environments such as suspended objects and construction materials; the other focused on identifying suitable drone landing zones. I was part of the latter subgroup, where my task was to develop methods based on machine learning to automatically identify appropriate geographical areas for drone landing zones using satellite imagery data.
