Welcome

Oliver Earl is a trainee lecturer of Computer Science and postgraduate student of Post-Compulsory Education, bringing together multiple years of classroom demonstrating experience, a wealth of knowledge from well-recognised volunteerism in student welfare and peer support, and a concrete foundation within both software engineering and IT.

As a software engineer, he continues to deepen his understanding of full-stack web development, predominantly PHP and Laravel, JavaScript ES6, HTML/CSS, and the increasingly popular JAMstack architecture, whilst also incorporating good practice such as Test-Driven Development (TDD), technical writing and documentation, and agile methodologies.

Previous academic research topics have been focused around the use of Internet of Things (IoT) services within dementia care applications, with a desire to venture into the pedagogical theories and best practices for teaching programming.

Miscellaneous interests include participating in the CodeCareer.io developer community, writing about a range of technical and pedagogical topics on Hashnode platform, as well as volunteering in a range of mental health activism and peer support work.
