Biography

Since 2010, I have taught a number of subject areas, primarily in software engineering and web applications development as a lecturer at the School of Computing, Electronics and Maths at Coventry University. I was also appointed as Link Tutor in 2012 (currently as Course Advisor) and liaised with one of the overseas partners in Hong Kong which offers top-up BSc degree courses. I am currently working on a project through the Knowledge Exchange and Enterprise Network (KEEN) scheme in mobile applications and systems integration in the Java Enterprise framework. I’m currently leading the Computer Science course as Course Director and undertaking new course development initiatives
