Find Me is an innovative emergency location-sharing application designed to enhance user safety and peace of mind. At the core of its functionality is a prominent big red button that, when pressed, initiates an immediate action to share the user’s precise location. The app generates a message containing a link to a map pinpointing the user’s exact coordinates. This message is then automatically dispatched to a preselected group of contacts ensuring that help is never more than a button press away. Whether faced with medical emergency, a security threat, or simply needing to inform loved ones of one’s whereabouts, Find Me provides a swift and reliable means of communication. Its intuitive interface and rapid response system make it an essential tool for anyone in need of quick assistance or in situations where time is of the essence.

This projects aim is to explore computer vision to examine the feasibility of providing live positional graphics on horse races through a computer vision model. Starting with learning, explaining and documenting machine learning and computer vision fundamentals so that both me and the reader can build a basic understanding. From there in the literature review state of the art models focused on multiple object tracking in horse racing are reviewed and explained, to understand the main challenges facing such an implementation. Finally, I implement my own object detection model using YoloV8, and a custom dataset made by myself. Given the project constraints and limitations, I was able to train a fairly accurate model, and discuss the results.

There is currently a proliferation of learning resources recommendation websites that signpost to resources such as Udemy, Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, W3Schools, that can be used to learn or upskill on a specific topic. Some of these websites also allow visitors to leave reviews and comments on their experience with these resources or recommend other resources they found helpful. There are also bookmarking systems including web browsers that allow learners to bookmark these resources for later consumption. However, there aren’t many systems that bridge these two processes into one single system. This software development project aimed to address this identified gap by providing a 2-in-1 resource recommender and bookmarking system to potentially improve the learner’s experience as they won’t have to use two different systems. This will also act as a central repository for all the reviews and bookmarks that could provide more insight into what resources learners find particularly helpful.

This project is about developing an E-commerce store for a business idea. The purpose of this project was to develop an E-commerce store which focuses on utilising critical factors which are often overlooked in E-commerce. These being, website functionality, design aspect and features. The project explores the current saturated E-commerce market, and the lack of uniqueness among many existing solutions to create a website which stands out. This project utilised the Agile methodology, specifically Kanban, to create the necessary requirements of the website and was used to design the overall design and feel of the website. My project was an attempt to showcase the ever-evolving industry of software development and specifically web development.
