2021
IBM Extreme Blue Intern:

In a team of 4, got the opportunity to join ocean exploration research. We received the data collected by the Mayflower, the first fully-autonomous ship to gather information about oceans. Our goal was to create a tool that teaches people about ocean research and introduces them to data science. In 13 weeks, we have learnt and used the newest technologies including “omni-channel", Node-RED, MQTT, GraphQL, and React.

We were asked to present our work at the organised for us conference at the University of Plymouth. Based on the feedback, the prime use of our tool will be to educate school children and aid the work of Oceanographers working on the Mayflower project.
