Developed and delivered a 2-week intensive course for University-aged students as an introduction to programming covering:• Core computer science concepts• Python 2.7• Solaris UNIX environmentThis course was used as a basis for reduced-entry requirements to the University for successful students, as part of CWPSI, administratively the course required:• Built upon existing materials, bringing into modern technologies (Python)• Presentation and class discussion orchestration• Course structure / Lesson planning• 1-to-1 tutoring• Assessment & moderation

Developed and delivered a series of materials aimed at teaching young people how to program:• The language chosen was Python• This operated as an after-school class in two locations in Wales• Delivered over the course of a few months, on a weekly basis.We started from the basics of logic, and turtle-programming, until the kids (age range 8-18) had enough skills to independently develop their own games.As the lead, I was in charge of two helpers who aided in the delivery of the course materials materials and assisted with the kids' programming questions. We coached basic mathematics and logic, including function-based programming and basic GUI creation.

Worked in CERN, Geneva on the Indico project. Indico is a high-performance, open source collaboration platform written in Python, utilising other technologies such as ZeoDB, bespoke JavaScript frameworks, jQuery, MongoDB, as well as multiple enterprise system integrations.My work covered a multitude of areas:• Predominately back-end programming using Python 2.6 & 2.7• Front-end JavaScript to enable more modern and responsive interactions on client-side• Utilising my strong design background and skills in creating engaging, useful interface paradigms for users. • Development of performance-critical, secure modules such as statistical tracking integration at core level to be used in conjunction with CERN standard utilities• Internal & external API developmentIn conjunction with primary work on Indico, I contributed to:• Mobile-targeted Indico derivative• Helped design and develop new systems outside of project scope
