Samuel

Hi, I am Samuel, a student at the Lycee Francais Charles de Gaulle in London. In this website I will talk about my interests, academics, hobbies and perhaps I will Blog from time to time. I Hope you enjoy!

My interests:

One of the things I am passionate about is fencing. I've been doing it since I was six years old, click here to learn more

Another one of my interests is chess. I've been playing chess for two years and even though I have been playing less chess recently I still love the game.

I've always adored puzzles and building things and I feel like coding is the perfect combination. I've only been coding for a year and I've already fallen in love with it, in fact I've used coding to create this very website.

As a student, grades are everything, they are how we define our self-worth. I have been studying for a while and over time I have amassed a couple tips and tricks. Click here to read about them.





My resume:

Experience

Fulham Junior Chess Club - Chess teacher

23/02/2021 - 05/06/2021

I prepared a weekly lesson for inexperienced young players and held a class in which I explained a type of tactic or endgame or demonstrated a game to them.

It was a great pleasure working with Samuel and I would be happy to do so again. He was well organised and the children enjoyed his lessons. I wish him well with his Duke of Edinburgh's award and look forward to hearing of his success in the award and at chess.

Projects

  • pi Calculator
  • Scrabble winner

  • Another website that i use purely for comedic purposes
  • Music recommender that uses machine learning
  • Robot that uses machine learning to recognise a hand and give it a high five (still in progress but the hand tracker has been created)
  • A website that tells you what you can cook based on the ingredients you have on hand (full transparency I used the spoonacular since this was a gift and I valued speed over ingenuity)
  • A website that facilitates university research with a combination of web scrapping and summarising algorithms. In my opinion this is my best project as it was built entirely from the ground with minimal usage of libraries and APIs, and has the potential of truly helping students.
