During this internship, I improved my knowledge of statistical techniques for modelling and analysing data and put some of the concepts I have studied in my university machine learning course into practice. • forecasted demand for Ingenuity Cloud Services based on past sales data. The forecast was used to predict net profit and server surplus numbers based on initial starting conditions. • developed a personalised recommendation system using the NVIDIA merlin deep learning framework to consider the feasibility of using the tool to replace the existing recommendation system. • developed and designed a GCP's Vertex AI kubeflow pipeline to automate the data processing pipeline and model training. ### Software Engineer @ Imago - the student software company Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Manchester, England, United Kingdom Worked for the university student software company. We laid the foundations for open sourcing a research application for automating data cleaning produced by the Department of Computer Science. • Documented a large legacy Java codebase from the scratch • Designed and planned how the application could be rearchitected to support a component pipeline-based approach with support for data streams as well as refactoring the code to Kotlin ### Freelance Software Engineer @ MANCHESTER ECONOMIC FORECASTING LTD Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Manchester, England, United Kingdom Sole developer on a full-stack data-driven React.js application that allows economic students to explore economic and climate data. I set up service workers and wedge caching to decrease initial load time by 40%. ### Student Work Experience @ Moneysupermarket Group Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Manchester, England, United Kingdom I spent a week as a software engineer at MoneySupermarket Manchester office where I worked with one of the backend teams. During this time I got to work with server-side Java for the first time as well as experience Agile methodologies such as attending the stand up each day as well as the inter-team meetings. I also wrote, committed and pushed code to the production environment that was responsible for compressing and decompressing data that was to be added on an AWS queue service as well as help implement test containers in Docker for the Jenkins CI pipeline. I also experienced both mob and pair programming. ### Student Work @ BookingGo Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Manchester, United Kingdom Work experience for 1 week working around Rideways (now BookingGo). During this week I got my first experience writing Node.js code as well as shadowing some of the software engineers. I was able to see the full development process as I shadowed one the software engineers, the tester as well as the DevOps and system engineer. This was my first experience of software engineering in industry and I learnt a lot about the development process as well as Agile development by attending the daily stand ups. ## Education ### Master of Philosophy - MPhil in Advanced Computer Science (ACS) University of Cambridge ### Bachelor of Science - BSc in Computer Science The University of Manchester ### Sale Grammar School ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/luke-braithwaite - Website: https://github.com/AspieCoder1 - Website: https://aspiecoder1.github.io/ --- Source: https://flows.cv/lukebraithwaite JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/lukebraithwaite/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-05
