Hi πŸ‘‹ I’m Nic. After a Computing degree and almost 20 years working in the IT industry (mainly as a Business Analyst) I am taking a year out to do a Data Science MSc. I’m learning python mainly and I’m in my final term, working on my project which is the detection of hate speech against women and immigrants on Twitter, in English and Spanish. I am not looking forward to my course ending because I’m really loving reading, learning and coding all day. I’m hoping to find a job where I can use my skills for social good.

When I’m not working on my project, I like going for a bike ride and growing plants from seeds/cuttings.

Some things I’m proud of: I’ve completed an ironman triathlon, I’ve started an online business that generates money for charity, and I’ve taught English as a volunteer in a small mountain village school in North East India.

I love learning and I love sharing my knowledge and helping people so if you have questions or if there’s something you think I can help you with then please ask. Also, if you have feedback about my work/ideas then please share them with me - positive or negative - I want to learn.

Looking forward to seeing what you share and learning from you all πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ’»
