I am a computer science lecturer and software engineer currently studying Post Compulsory Education and Training at Birmingham City University in pursuit of a career in Higher Education and research.

My current academic interests lie in visual programming languages using blocks, how they might be further incorporated to support and positively impact students, and lessening the difficulty of transitioning to text-based languages by means of hybridised environments.

My miscellaneous hobbies and interests include writing on a range of technical and pedagogical topics on my blog and volunteering time towards student mental health activism and welfare.
