Claire Burn

I completed my BEng degree in Computer Science in 2015 with a 1st Class Hons, and I completed the MSc in Cyber Security with Queen's University Belfast in the academic year 2015/16, with Distinction. I have 2 years experience working with Python in cyber security and enterprise environments, 2 years experience with C++, 1.5 years experience C# .NET, and 1 year BASH. I am currently mostly focusing on improving my programming skills, and improving my knowledge of algorithms and the theory and mathematics behind computer science and cyber security. I am very interested in getting into contributing to Open Source software. I have spoken at various events about my passion to include diversity within the IT industry, including Women Techmakers Dublin 2015, Future2016, Women Techmakers Belfast Summit 2016 & 2017, AppSec EU 2017, 404 Ireland 2017, and the prestigious "International Conference on Women and Leadership In a Changing World" organised by Queen's University Belfast and the University of Massechusetts Lowell. I have also mentored at the Inspire 2017 conference held in Titanic Belfast, and spoken at various schools events, including "Engineering Our Future 2017" at Methodist College Belfast. I enjoy meeting new people, problem solving, and singing. Feel free to take a look at my profile, however, it is a work in constant progress!
