This was a very dynamic and challenging role focused around higher level design decisions and implementations where the ability to implement these designs was taken for granted
My skills as a project manager were greatly developed as were my practical programming skills in cloud computing methodologies and artificial intelligence solutions for an enterprise enviornment

The purpose of this project was to match users to jobs based on a questionnaire the user has previously filled out using a recommender system via content filtering.
This was a fun role because it required designing a web app completely from scratch.
During this project, I developed my skills in front end usability design and gained strong foundational skills for recommender systems development.

This project aims to help people in Bangladesh who drink from wells determine if their well water is safe.
It does this by using an environmental model to predict the levels of arsenic in the well based on its location and appearance.
Working on this project has been an amazing privilege and has massively developed my skills in JSON data processing and geodata visualization.

Other Experience and Projects
In addition to programming at work I've taken part in several hackathons and personal projects.
Ray casting in Javascript
Click the demo to use. Look around with the arrow keys and use the WASD keys to move.
The left side of the view shows a top-down perspective and the green cone shows the player's field of view. The right side of the view shows the player's view in the first person.

Visualizing Sorting Algorithms
Click the demo to get started, this should show the options menu. First click Initialize Array, then open the menu again and click Shuffle, then select a sorting algorithm to see it in action.
Note that as well as the sorting algorithm being visualized, you can also click the Enable Sound button before starting to also hear the algorithms do their thing.
