%		{Final Year Project, AI Applications in Lagrangian Physics}
%		{University of Bath}
%		{My project focuses on incorporating Lagrangian Mechanics into physics-informed neural networks. My key contributions include,
%		\begin{itemize}[itemsep=-2pt,topsep=3pt]
%			\item Creating and optimising physics informed loss functions for speed and utility in training.
%			\item Designing, testing, and evaluating different loss functions for use in training.
%			\item Writing the core physics procedures in JAX to allow for their use in loss functions and reducing runtimes by $10^4$.

		{Software Developer}
		{Office for National Statistics}
		{For my placement I joined a team working on software for processing the results of the 2021 Census. After the end of my placement I was kept on to assist with the next phase of product development and solution design. Key contributions include,
		\begin{itemize}[itemsep=-2.5pt,topsep=3pt]
			\item Taking a leading role as release manager for the product and was heavily involved in requirements gathering for the new features.
			\item Developing tools for debugging and observability in sensitive production environments.
			\item Restructuring a core service to decrease code duplication and increase test \& type coverage.
			\item Designing solution architectures for future project development.
		\end{itemize}
		This role gave me an appreciation for how the interpersonal aspects of successful team are crucial for the overall success of a project. This was especially important when interfacing with the business side of the organisation on the direction of the project.\\
