Hey, I'm Darren Rutter

Hey!

I'm Darren.

I'm a Masters of Science Graduate in Computer Science from the University of York, for which I achieved Merit. I have worked in IT Support for over a year already, including as a Technical Consultant in London, in addition to my personal projects, which you will find collated on this site.

As part of my Degree, I created and wrote a program in Python that detects hate speech on Twitter with up to 98.7% accuracy, from a dataset of over 100,000 Tweets.

I originally began teaching myself code in the first lockdown of 2020. I realised quickly that I loved creating and designing software, and eventually was accepted onto the Master's course at the University of York.

My Bachelor's Degree is in Hotel Management, in which I achieved an Upper Second-Class Honours from the University of Essex. My career in hospitality spans a decade, and has enabled me to develop excellent communication and customer service skills.

I am ready to seek a new challenge and new opportunities in software development and am building up my portfolio to showcase my skills.

I hope you love my work, but I'm always open to constructive criticism and ideas, so please let me know how I can improve!
