I'd love to say that animation was mine, but I added it while experimenting with setting up GitHub Actions. The instructions I followed are here.

I lead the training team at Bright Network Technology Academy where we offer a free software engineering course to aspiring graduates. We cover Java, Spring, JavaScript and React in instructor-led training backed up with opportunities for self-directed further study and group projects.

Previously I was an instructor for both the software development and data analysis courses at CodeClan and prior to that took the software course myself! I have a PhD in machine learning and a background in mathematics, so if anyone has an idea for a Spring app learning about number theory I'm all ears... 👀

When I'm not teaching my personal projects usually involve combinations of React, Spring and trying to do something useful with a Raspberry Pi. GraphQL has been on my "to learn" list for a long time, along with Svelte, Electron, improving my R skills and not procrastinating so much.

I've got a website where I haven't made a blog post in a criminally long time and last tweeted from @colinf87 in January 2021.
