Development
My development across the Expertise Areas.
Math, Data and Computing
Past
In Project 3, I took the lead on programming to challenge myself in an area I found difficult. I improved my Arduino skills, set up wireless communication via WebSockets, and created a workaround using Processing to connect hardware input to a Figma prototype.
This experience taught me adaptability and persistence. I learned that innovation often requires creative problem-solving rather than relying on existing tools or methods.
The Logic for our front-end prototype.
This was controlled by reading the processing key presses which were triggered by changes in the serial output on my websocket link which was generated by my M5Stack Microcontroller. The code for the two different programmes can be viewed bellow in the appendix of my report.
Present
This expertise area became one of my strongest during my internship. I regularly worked with large datasets using SQL, PowerBI, and internal analytics platforms to support product decisions. I learned how to extract meaningful insights, recognise data limitations, and balance quantitative findings with strategic judgment.
Monitoring sales, usage, reviews, and subscriptions for newly launched products showed me how data can guide iteration and long-term improvement rather than one-off decisions.
Link to Professional Identity and Vision
Data allows me to move faster and make more grounded decisions. By combining analytical skills with design intuition, I can create products that are not only compelling, but also informed, realistic, and sustainable.
