External Experience

HyperionDev - Skills Bootcamp: Data Science 

Dec 2024 - Mar 2025


OOP – Classes: This Object-Oriented Programming project was used to replicate an inbox, structuring code into classes to model real-world entities. The task required the use of Classes, Initialising constructors & User defined Functions. This project was successful as I displayed software development skills using Python to simulation an email inbox.


Data Preprocessing, Cleaning & Visualisation: These projects are integral building blocks to become sufficient in the industry. Data preprocessing is an important task when handling raw data. Cleaning the data is vital for recovering missing or insignificant data. Finally, visualisation of datasets using Matplotlib was used to communicate trends & findings within the data.
