About Me
I graduated in Computer Science from Swansea University and have been working in financial data management since 2023. I enjoy cleansing, processing and analysing data, and there's something satisfying about turning a messy dataset into something that actually makes sense.
I'm detail-oriented but not boring about it — I care about accuracy, but I also want to be able to explain what the numbers mean without putting people to sleep. I pick up new tools quickly, adapt easily, and I'm always looking for smarter ways to get things done.

Dissertation
Building an AI Chatbot to help promote Climate Change Awareness
Collected and processed online climate change discussions through web scraping, then used NLTK to perform sentiment analysis — classifying opinions as either for or against man-made climate change. Built and evaluated several supervised machine learning models, benchmarking them against NLTK's built-in sentiment tools. The classified data was then used to generate informed responses for the chatbot.
