About
Updated January 12, 2026
Helloooo, I’m Vandam!!!!! I’m currently studying engineering mathematics at Bristol university for my fifth and final year. I worked at Dyson for my placement year and I fell in love with programming.
It’s such a beautiful thing to create and I’m so grateful to be able to. It’s so fun!!!! I’ve been experimenting a lot lately with making apps and websites.
In my free time I love to watch movies, listening/creating music, bouldering and being in nature.
Current Goals
Projects
No Scrolling ↗ - Simple site for my Light Phone III apps. Built with Astro.
Echo ↗ - Spotify client for the Light Phone III. Built with React Native, Expo, Spotify’s Web API and Android SDK.
Zero ↗ - A camera app with minimal processing for the Light Phone III. Built with Kotlin.
Spots ↗, Repo ↗ - A web app to see library and room availability at the University of Bristol. Built with Next.js.
Luma ↗ - Minimal launcher for the Light Phone III. Fork of Olauncher. Built with Kotlin.
Weather ↗ - App for the Light Phone III to check the weather. Built with React Native, Expo and Open-meteo.
Passes ↗ - App for the Light Phone III to store barcodes. First time developing an Android app. Built with React Native and Expo.
SlowTube ↗, Repo ↗ - Extended YouTube player for practicing guitar solos by video and ear. Built with TanStack Start and Router.
Seren - Optimised event scheduling based on menstrual cycle predictions. Synthesised data from public datasets to train a prediction model. Predictions consider sleep, mood and focus. Built with Python, PCA, uMAP, t-SNE, k-means, Random Forest Decision Trees, and more!
Aviva - Vehicle breakdown simulation across the South West UK region and evaluated garage service coverage and performance. Built with Python, NetworkX, Voronoi Tessellation, OSMnx, Shapely, Geopandas, Plotly.
Rolls Royce - Automated Clearance Measurement System for Variable Stator Vanes. Built with Python, Open3D, Numpy, Matplotlib.
Lizzy McAlpine ↗, Repo ↗ - Concept fan redesign of Lizzy’s site. Built with Zola, Sass.
Mixtape ↗ - A simple and minimal mixtape generator for Spotify playlists. Built with Flask, FFmpeg, Spotipy, Spotdl.
Micro-Scale Pumped Hydro System ↗ - Evaluated the suitability of these systems. Developed a simplified mathematical model. Built with Python, Bayesian Optimisation, Pandas and Plotly.
