Universities offer hundreds of societies, and it can be difficult to judge their quality before paying to join. RateMySociety was created as an anonymous review platform to address this problem. Real students can leave honest feedback about their societies - including the pros, cons, and overall atmosphere. Prospective or interested students can then use these reviews to make more informed decisions about which societies to join. This project went slightly viral on TikTok and at the time of writing we have over 1.6 million views and 111K likes, driving nearly 1000 total site visits. This project is in 'hibernation' now as I built it more for fun then anything serious. The site is still live and has some reviews.
WikiLinks
Python
CassandraDB
There is a theory that for any 2 given Wikipedia pages, they are no more than 6 clicks away from each other. This concept has been popularised through Wikipedia Speedruns and Six Degrees of Wikipedia . I too was interested in this idea, so wrote a python program to parse, consolidate and store each wikipedia page's title and links from the Wikimedia-XML dumps in CassandraDB. I was then able to write a number of search algorithms including Branch and Bound and Iterative Deepening Depth-First Search from which I could enter 2 pages and find the shortest possible route. This project was very fun but also very time consuming (It was taking over 12 hours on my computer to parse and store the data!) but the results were really interesting.

President
Technical Officer
As Technical Officer, I was responsible for leading the technical set up of CTF (Capture The Flag) events and society sessions, as well as managing the society website and backend systems. I was responsible for running the Advent of Cyber event in 2024, including creating a leaderboard site to display the top 10 members. Having just stepped into the role of president, I'm looking forward to developing the society beyond what we have achieved in the past few years including looking into future technologies and potential vulnerabilities such as AI prompt injection, as well as running more practical hands-on sessions.Enactus Sheffield
