Projects

playsouthwales.uk  — League Scheduling web applicationFastAPI, React 19, TypeScript, Supabase, Tailwind CSS

• Developed and launched a league scheduling web application for the South Wales competitive Pokémon community designed to solve player drop-off and scheduling clashes.
• Built a responsive frontend using React 19, TypeScript, TanStack Router, TanStack Query, Clerk Auth, and Tailwind CSS v4 backed by a FastAPI backend with a Supabase PostgreSQL database and Pydantic models.
• Wrote async background workers to automate the collection of relevant tournament data such as major events and release dates from community APIs and websites.
• Set up Docker Compose for local development and automated CI/CD pipelines for deployments to Vercel and Render.
• Built a companion Discord bot that automatically posts tournament pairings, schedules, and standings directly to local league servers.
• Scaled platform to 320 monthly active users and 1000+ page views, onboarding 16 tournament organisers across South Wales.

Jeremy — Autonomous Agent & Simulation FrameworkPython, PyTorch, Optuna, Pytest, NumPy

• Engineered an autonomous agent framework for the Kaggle Kaggriculture competition, tested with a 68-test Pytest suite.
• Implemented a spatial dispatcher that coordinates farm units across a grid by scoring chore priorities and Manhattan distances each turn.
• Designed a NumPy-based neural macro-policy for daily farm management tasks trained from supervised learning datasets generated from Parquet replay logging scripts.
• Ran parallel Optuna studies to tune multi-agent action priorities such as planting, watering, and harvesting.
• Automated bundling, verification, and performance benchmark scripts for submitting agents directly to Kaggle tournaments.

Stunfisk — Reinforcement Learning PTCG AgentPython, PyTorch, MCTS, Reinforcement Learning

• Built an AlphaZero-style reinforcement learning agent for the Kaggle Pokémon Trading Card Game Battle Simulation competition.
• Combined neural network evaluation with Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to play competitive Pokémon TCG.
• Trained the nueral network concurrently through self-play while optimizing PyTorch training loops to run efficiently on local hardware.

Spectrophotometer — Laboratory Data Analysis ToolTypeScript, Vite, Plotly

• Created a browser-based analysis tool in TypeScript and Vite, replacing legacy proprietary Windows XP software for university researchers.
• Created a client-side parser that takes raw .txt measurement files and plots absorbance of light curves using plotly.
• Currently used by Swansea University academic faculty and students to process data for dissertation research.

CTHead Scan — Visual Computing Project JavaFX

• Engineered a desktop application to process and render 3D medical CT scan volumes.
• Developed the core rendering algorithms Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) and 3D direct volume raycasting in JavaFX
• Presented a live viva to university lecturers achieveing 100% on the project.
