Lecturer in Computer Science
I am a Lecturer in Computing in the Faculty of Technology, specialising in cybersecurity, digital forensics, software development and programming.
I have previously worked as a software developer, designing and building a variety of software systems and games across different sectors (architecture, construction, engineering, science and education), working with a range of technologies and applications (web applications, mobile applications, cloud services, XR applications, machine learning and AI). I also have experience in Disaster Recovery Planning, Cybersecurity Incident Response, Malware Analysis and Penetration Testing.
