ABOUT ME

Aspiring data engineer, software developer, and generally wanting to have an impact


Photo of Me

Welcome to my website! Im Jack, a third-year engineering student at the University of Cambridge. I love modelling and analysing the world with data and statistics, using software and technology to solve problems. I thrive on tackling challenges that combine creativity and technical expertise, whether it's diving into cutting-edge engineering projects, exploring the power of statistics, or bringing innovative ideas to life.

Beyond academics, you will find me either snowboarding, creating music, or trying to learn a new hobby or skill. I am currently running Varsity Trip and working as a merch consultant to keep me busy outside of the engineering world. My journey so far has been driven by a love for novelty and learning, and the belief that technology has the potential to make a lasting, positive impact on the world.

Feel free to explore my work here, enjoy!

    Training and applying logistic classification models to datasets. The figure shows the results using wide radial basis functions.
    Classification
    Created a real-time flood warning system that worked on live data from the internet using Python. Extrapolation of data and best fit curves were used to try and warn areas in advance.
    Flood Warning
    Using PCA to correlate gene expression to tumour diagnoses, from data of over 10,000 genes.
    Principal Component Analysis
    Investigating the benefits and behaviours of various window functions for FFTs.
    Windowing
    Exploring techniques for fitting regression curves to data.
    Regression
    Creating and analysing different distributions of both known and unknown origins. This involved creating distributions from samples of a uniform distribution using inverse CDF.
    Distribution analysis
    Designed and coded an autopilot for a virtual aircraft control system.
    Aircraft autopilot
    Analysis of measured vibrations from a two-pronged coupled cantilever, and comparing results to theory.
    Vibration Analysis
