Personal Information
I’ve always had an interest in computing and helping people make better use of the technology they have available to them. After completing my undergraduate degree I was accepted as an EPSRC funded PhD candidate and my thesis further illustrated that, focussing on the ways that network usage can be made comprehensible to ordinary users. Working for the KBC has given me the opportunity to help people in a more tangible way, providing solutions that directly improve the work of small businesses, and allowing me the opportunity to take ownership of projects and see them through to their conclusion.
