About

I'm a Computer Science Graduate from Oxford University, England. After deciding to leave Oxford at the start of my 4th year to do something more interesting, and just stick with a BA, for one year I worked for 4 days a week as a software engineer at a Semmle, and also taught Computer Science at a school for students on the autistic spectrum once a week. I then worked at GitHub for a short while, helping kick-start the GitHub Security Lab, when they acquired Semmle. Following this, I was an independant contractor for the United Nations OCHA, leading the technical implementation of a number of projects that helped humanitarian coordination and financial tracking. During my time at Oxford, I was both the Secretary and the President of the Oxford University Computer Society (not simultaneously), and also the IT Rep for the JCR at St. Catherine's College. In addition, I was involved in 3 separate "Learn to Code" courses for students, including one of which I organised, ran and co-wrote the content for. I also volunteered as a helper at my local CoderDojo for some time. I have given a number of technical talks at various conferences, that are listed on my personal website: Inside the sof
