01About
A bit about me
portrait
I'm a Computer Science undergraduate at the University of Birmingham, predicted a First with an 89% first-year average — including 98% in Mathematical & Logical Foundations and 94% in Object-Oriented Programming. In 2026 I was named the TargetJobs Software Engineering Undergraduate of the Year.
I build full-stack and AI-integrated software, and I care about systems that are correct, well-tested, and genuinely useful. Away from the keyboard I'm a U18 National Cup winner, a former 1st XV rugby captain, and a robotics coach — and I currently support 400+ students as a Data Structures & Algorithms teaching associate. This summer I'm joining Skyscanner as a software engineering intern.
