About Me
My name is Norton Andreev and I am a recent University of Sheffield graduate. I majored in Software Engineering which allowed me to gain more experience in a field I have been interested in since a very young age. As part of my degree, I did in-depth research in various topics, related to artificial intelligence and human-robot interaction, computer architecture and networks, algorithms, and theory of computation. In my final year, I acquired competencies in bioinspired computing, text processing, software testing and re-engineering, and cyber security. I am particularly passionate about user experience and user interface design.
My dissertation — ClimaFever — was aimed at researching the impact of climate change on hay fever sufferers. It consists of a dynamic web application, as well as an iOS supplement that allows users to participate in research-based surveys. Furthermore, the iOS application provides important information for the self-management of allergic rhinitis symptoms. At the time of the submission, the product was the most comprehensive option on the market.
I have done software development, both at and outside University, including working with clients, capturing requirements, and teamwork in a competitive environment. I did my placement year with GE Aviation System in Cheltenham. My main responsibility was application development in C#. This involved coding new features, bug fixing, and performing verification. Some of my achievements were a new generation of a compiler that led to a 95% decrease in the compile-time compared to the old tool and an automated Test Framework used daily to verify the correctness of a set of tools.
Aside from programming, I am experienced in music production. Not only have I worked on projects for other artists, but I have also been releasing my songs. Additionally, I enjoy graphic design and desktop publishing. In my free time, I love walking, travelling, meeting new people, and participating in activities beneficial for the wider community. I am an easy-going person, always looking for opportunities to try new things and broaden my knowledge.
