Projects

Below is a list of projects that I have completed over the past few years. These are divided into Personal and Coursework, where Personal includes any project that wasn’t graded by the University, and Coursework being the opposite.

I have only made courseworks publicly available that are either “unique” (i.e. courseworks which aren’t “write some code to achieve X in Y language”), or I am aware that of the University making changes to the original question such that my code can’t be used.
