About Me
My name is Kishan Odedra and I'm a MSc Computer Science student at the University of Birmingham. In my spare time, I like video editing, graphic design and programming. I’m interested in the evolving HealthTech field, primarily in the use of Machine Learning in Medicine and Healthcare. I am currently learning full stack web development with JavaScript and Java, as well as automation and scripting with Python.

HealthWhere
HealthWhere is a web application that retrieves information regarding any condition on the Health A-Z NHS website and displays local NHS related services. The project gave me practice in working with asynchronous data and APIs. This was my first attempt at creating a web application and it taught me a lot about how to communicate data between the client and server side.

Danbo Explains
Danbo Explains is part of an imagined series of videos that focus on aspects of the human body in regards to health and disease. We decided the best way to appeal to our intended audience of primary school children was to use a fictional character, which could help them visualise difficult concepts whilst also making it more fun and engaging. We settled on using stop motion to animate movements in order to produce a fluid style.
