  This is the Python Code I wrote for my Raspberry pi so it could collect Data from it's sense hat and it saves the data in csv and sql format.  This code also connects to a data hub via mqtt, it converts the data into JSON format and timestamps every parcel of data it sends.

  Dear Sir or madam, Up until May-June earlier this year I was a mature Student at Sheffield Hallam University and I’m looking for my first job in the computing/IT/Data analysis/software development sector, I’ve always had a job during my entire adult life but this is the first time I’m applying for a job in the IT sector. I didn’t have a great start to my adult life, my entire family moved hundreds of miles away when I was 16 years old and still in school doing my GCSE’s.  At that time I was close to being homeless.  So even though I was either the best student in my school or one of the best I didn’t get to go to University at the same time as everyone else.  I thought I’d missed my chance and I’d never get to go so when I did go I made the absolute most out of it!  No amount of work was too much for me and my attendance was by far the best in my class. I’m looking for an employer/manager to give me a chance to do some good work for them, I will make sure they...

micropython code on github   This is the micropython code I used on my raspberry pico to collect sensor data and send it to my own home IOT mqtt broker.   I specialise in making code that can collect data and send it and perpetually continue to do that without getting an error disrupting the program.

Sample of my Python Code https://github.com/cuthbert86/RiverProject/blob/main/datetime1.py This is an example of some of my data management work.  I wrote a python code that combined date and time columns into a single date-time column and then formatted it into .ISO format. import pandas as pd # Load your data from a CSV file (adjust the filename and path accordingly) file_path = 'riverdatacsv.csv' df = pd.read_csv(file_path) # Merge Date and Time columns into a single DateTime column with the ISO 8601 format df['DateTime'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date'] + ' ' + df['Time']).dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S') # Drop the original Date and Time columns if needed df = df.drop(['Date', 'Time'], axis=1) # Display the DataFrame with the new DateTime column print(df)    

      One of the simple joys in my life is going on walks. There's something incredibly refreshing about stepping out into the fresh air, whether it's a stroll through the park or an impromptu exploration of a new neighborhood. Walking gives me time to reflect, clear my mind, and discover small moments of beauty—like a perfectly blooming flower or the sound of birds chirping. It’s my form of meditation, grounding me in the present and helping me recharge for whatever comes next.        The cinema is another escape I hold dear. There’s an undeniable magic in watching a story unfold on the big screen. Whether it’s a thought-provoking indie film or the latest action-packed blockbuster, the cinema provides an immersive experience like no other. I love the way movies can stir emotions, spark ideas, and sometimes, even change my perspective on life. It’s one of those rare places where time seems to slow down, and you can get lost in someone else’s world fo...

   Cuthbert Baines was probably the only person on his computing course at Hallam University who genuinely enjoyed every module that involved Data and Data Analysis.  In today’s fast-paced digital world, data is everywhere. From business trends to user behavior, data has the power to shape decisions, drive growth, and forecast future trends. However, data is only as valuable as the people who know how to interpret it. That’s where I come in. As someone with a deep passion for mathematics, I’ve honed the analytical skills needed to thrive in the world of data analytics. My journey has been one of both challenge and triumph, constantly pushing me to solve problems and unlock new insights. With a strong foundation in math, I’m not only capable of understanding complex datasets, but also transforming them into meaningful stories that can guide business strategy and decision-making. The Intersection of Mathematics and Data Analytics Mathematics isn’t just a subject I studie...

   Hello, and welcome to my corner of the internet! I'm Cuthbert Baines, a seasoned computer programmer with a passion for solving complex problems and building efficient, scalable software. With years of experience in the industry, I’ve honed my skills to not only deliver high-quality code but also to contribute meaningfully to projects that push the boundaries of technology. My Journey into Programming I’ve always had a deep curiosity about how things work, which led me to the world of computer science and programming. From my first lines of code to tackling challenging algorithms, the journey has been a rewarding one. Over time, my focus has expanded to include full-stack development, machine learning, and software architecture, but the heart of my work remains in solving real-world problems with clean, maintainable code. What Sets Me Apart? As a professional programmer, I pride myself on a few key principles that guide my work: Attention to Detail : Whether I’m debu...
