What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue my professional growth.

I am a dedicated lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire, where I deliver engaging lectures in Software Engineering, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills among my students. My commitment to education extends beyond the classroom, as I actively contribute to curriculum development to align with industry standards and emerging technologies. Mentoring students on their academic and career journeys is a passion of mine, and I take pride in supporting their successful transitions into the tech field.

In my previous role as Course Team Leader and IT Lecturer at North Herts College, I significantly improved BTEC/T-Level pass rates by 15% and secured 100% compliance with Ofsted standards. My efforts in forging industry partnerships have resulted in enhanced training programs and increased student placement rates. As an AI researcher, I achieved remarkable classification accuracy in blood smear image datasets, demonstrating my ability to apply advanced technologies to real-world problems.
