About Me
I'm a computer science graduate with a strong interest in AI, full-stack development, and systems that make everyday tasks easier. I graduated from Brunel University London with Second Class (Upper Division) Honours (2:1), and my final year work focused on practical, user-facing software rather than theory for theory's sake.
I enjoy turning complex problems into simple, clean experiences. I like building products that are useful, accessible, and clear enough that a recruiter or engineer can understand them quickly.
Alongside development, I've spent time teaching robotics and coding, which strengthened how I communicate, explain ideas, and support other people in a team environment.
