Data Science: Head of Infrastructure and Web Development

I'm Florence, a first-year Mathematics with Statistics for Finance student, and I'm running for Head of Infrastructure & Web Development.

I enjoy building technical projects and working with data, with experience across Python, SQL, JavaScript, C++ and web technologies. I'm currently developing an independent data project using a continuously (automatically) updated dataset of over 200,000 observations, which has given me experience thinking about how data, code and usable interfaces fit together. I have also developed a view GUI projects, including a budgeting app in the past.

If elected, I want to make the Society's technical infrastructure more useful, reliable and accessible to members.

My priorities would be to:

Improve the Society website, making it easier to navigate, keeping opportunities and events up to date, and creating a stronger showcase for the Society's work.
Build a central project hub where members can discover projects, datasets, hackathons and technical resources.
Showcase member projects, giving students a place to publish their work and making the Society's technical output more visible.
Improve internal tools and workflows, reducing repetitive admin and making it easier for the committee to manage events, resources and communications.
Make development collaborative, allowing interested members to contribute to the website and infrastructure while gaining practical experience.

I want our infrastructure to actively make the Society better for both members and the committee.

I'd really appreciate your vote.
