2. Led Innovative Projects: At NATS, I contributed to the world's first AI system for air traffic control, utilising digital twinning and machine learning.
3. Developed Future Talent: Shaped data science and engineering education at Multiverse by developing comprehensive curricula for degree-level apprenticeships.
4. Consulted on High-Impact Projects: Provided AI and data science consultancy for industry giants like BP, Sword and Chaucer (now BIP UK), driving data-driven decision-making and innovation.

Now, I'd like to talk about you.

Are you aspiring to become a successful data analyst/data scientist/data engineer but need help figuring out where to start?

Here's a roadmap to guide you:

Cloud Computing Tutorial

In a crowd of opinions, the softest voices often carry the deepest insights.

This message, inspired by Dora Vanourek, truly resonates.

Here’s what introverts wish leaders said in meetings:
(and a few things not to say):

✅ "Let's take a moment to think this through."
↳ Introverts need time to process before speaking.
↳ This approach gives everyone a chance to reflect.
↳ It leads to more thoughtful and meaningful input.

✅ "If you have further thoughts, email them to me."
↳ Introverts often think of their best ideas later.
↳ Written communication can be more comfortable.
↳ Ensures valuable insights aren't missed after the meeting.

✅ "We'll discuss XYZ next time. Bring your ideas."
↳ Provides time for introverts to prepare and reflect.
↳ Encourages thoughtful contributions in future discussions.
↳ Boosts confidence in sharing ideas during the meeting.

❌ "You are so quiet today."
↳ Quietness doesn’t mean disengagement.
↳ Comments like this can feel judgmental.
↳ It’s better to appreciate different communication styles.

❌ "Try to be more outgoing in meetings."
↳ Suggests their natural style is wrong.
↳ Not everyone is comfortable speaking on the spot.
↳ Emphasizes extroverted behavior as the standard.

❌ "Everyone share a fun fact about themselves!"
↳ Personal sharing can be uncomfortable.
↳ Introverts may feel stressed or pressured.
↳ Creates anxiety rather than fostering connection.

True leaders don’t just listen to the loudest voices.
They create space for those who often go unheard.

Respecting different communication styles fuels collaboration.
Let’s build inclusive cultures where everyone thrives.

How do you ensure all voices are heard in your meetings?

7 Clear Signs You’re Being Undervalued at Work:

(And what to do about it)

1.	You’re Excluded from Decisions
↳ Major decisions are made without your input.
↳ This makes you feel sidelined and unimportant.
↳ Being part of key discussions should be the norm, not the exception.

2.	They Give You Busywork, Not Impactful Projects
↳ You’re handed small, non-impactful tasks while others take on critical projects.
↳ Your potential is being wasted on work that doesn’t move the needle.
↳ Push for projects that align with your strengths and goals.

3.	You’re Not Set Up to Succeed
↳ You lack the resources, support, or clarity needed to perform well.
↳ This leads to frustration and sets you up for failure.
↳ Success requires the right tools and direction—don’t settle for less.

4.	Your Role Expands Without Rewards
↳ You’re constantly taking on more responsibilities, but your title and pay stay the same.
↳ If you’re doing more, you deserve to be compensated accordingly.
↳ Speak up about aligning your role with fair recognition.

5.	No Recognition for Your Hard Work
↳ Your contributions go unnoticed, and there’s no appreciation for what you do.
↳ Recognition is key for morale and motivation, and everyone deserves it.
↳ It’s time to request regular feedback and acknowledgment.

6.	Your Growth Stalls
↳ You’re not being given opportunities to develop new skills.
↳ If you feel stuck, it’s a sign your potential isn’t being nurtured.
↳ Start exploring options that align with your growth ambitions.

7.	Inadequate Compensation
↳ Your salary doesn’t reflect your contributions to the company.
↳ If others in similar roles are being paid more, it’s time to negotiate.
↳ Know your worth and advocate for fair compensation.

Feeling undervalued can be draining, 
but recognizing the signs is the first step to change.

The 8 Software Development Life Cycle Models You Should Know

Choosing the right software development model can significantly impact the success of your project. 

Here are 8 SDLC models and when you should consider using them:

1.	Waterfall
↳ Sequential phases: design, build, test, deploy.
↳ Best for projects with clear, unchanging requirements.
↳ Simple but rigid—ideal for small projects.

2.	Spiral
↳ Iterative and risk-driven approach with continuous refinement.
↳ Useful for complex projects that involve high risk and frequent changes.
↳ Allows for continuous evaluation and improvement.

3.	Agile
↳ Focuses on delivering incremental updates through short sprints.
↳ Ideal for projects requiring flexibility and collaboration.
↳ Prioritizes customer feedback and adaptive planning.

4.	Iterative
↳ Builds software in iterations, improving with each cycle.
↳ Great for large projects that need continuous refinements.
↳ Each iteration includes design, testing, and implementation.

5.	V-Model
↳ Developers and testers work in parallel—strict validation and verification process.
↳ Best for projects where validation at each step is essential.
↳ Ensures thorough testing before progressing to the next phase.

6.	Incremental
↳ Delivers the software in smaller, manageable increments.
↳ Ideal for large projects where full deployment isn’t feasible from the start.
↳ Each increment brings a working version closer to the final product.

7.	Big Bang
↳ Everything is developed at once—no formal planning.
↳ High risk but suitable for small projects or experimental prototypes.
↳ Requires significant time and resources upfront.

8.	Rapid Application Development (RAD)
↳ Focuses on quick development and frequent iterations through prototypes.
↳ Best for projects with tight deadlines or evolving requirements.
↳ Encourages user feedback and fast adaptation to changes.
