EDUCATOR · RESEARCHER · ENGINEER
Computer scientist and educator
I teach computing and build software that helps people make sense of data. My research at Cardiff University explored how everyday photos and social media posts can help us track wildlife.
01 / IN THE CLASSROOM
From a first program in school to postgraduate computing, I design lessons around what learners can make and test for themselves.
SECONDARY COMPUTER SCIENCE
At Monmouth Comprehensive School, I completed 60 days of supervised teaching with pupils aged 11–16. I built a GCSE Computer Science Learning Lab using Greenfoot and adapted lessons and resources for pupils with additional learning needs.
Led an MSc Informatics module at Cardiff University, designing the curriculum and taking responsibility for teaching and assessment.
Ran workshops for learners aged 7–18 through Cardiff University and Technocamps, including a six-week course for young people outside formal education.
02 / RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS
How much can we learn about wildlife from things people already share online?
Google ScholarFEATURED PAPER · PLOS ONE · 2021
My collaborators and I tested whether public Flickr photos, image recognition and UK biodiversity records could help identify wildlife observations. We explored how everyday photos could complement existing recording schemes.
