Case studies

Projects

Selected work

Implemented work, backed by external feedback

These are real-world projects inferred from testimonials and professional context. GitHub notebooks and learning projects are kept separately as technical portfolio evidence.

Implemented analytics

LSE course attendance and bookings dashboard

Problem
The team needed a reliable live view of course attendance and booking data.
Built
A Tableau dashboard and reporting workflow that made weekly analysis easier to use.
Outcome
External feedback describes it as an excellent tool relied on weekly after earlier attempts had not succeeded.

Digital transformation

School and college EdTech adoption

Problem
Schools needed coherent learning platforms, staff confidence and adoption during major digital change.
Built
Strategy and implementation across Microsoft 365, Teams, OneNote, Canvas, CPD and remote-learning workflows.
Outcome
Testimonials reference Microsoft Showcase School status, remote-learning readiness and culture change.

Training and adoption

Accessible staff training and CPD

Problem
Staff needed practical support to use digital tools confidently under pressure.
Built
Training sessions, stakeholder engagement and implementation support around digital teaching workflows.
Outcome
Feedback highlights accessible training, user adoption, trust-building and support for less confident colleagues.

Technical archive

Learning projects and skill demonstrations

The archive below includes GitHub notebooks, coursework-style builds and technical exercises. They are useful evidence of capability, but should be read separately from the implemented work above unless a project includes explicit real-world context or testimonial evidence.

Technical Portfolio and Learning Projects

These repositories demonstrate relevant skills across AI, Python, data engineering, SQL, Tableau, R and formal logic. They are grouped by technical area and shown separately from implemented workplace projects unless there is external evidence of deployment.
