My Story

I'm a BSc Computer Science graduate from Brunel University London, graduating with Second Class (Upper Division) Honours (2:1). My academic path has been deliberately broad — covering Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, and Software Engineering in my final year — because I believe the best engineers understand systems holistically, not just the layer they happen to code in.

My Final Year Project, Local Lens, is a full-stack AI civic-reporting platform integrating Claude Vision, Supabase, geolocation pipelines, and a custom priority-scoring engine. It's the most complex thing I've built — and it works.

Outside of university, I've worked at RoboThink since October 2022, delivering programming, robotics, and engineering workshops to 500+ students aged 4–14. That experience taught me that the ability to explain something clearly is just as valuable as the ability to build it, and it strengthened my leadership, communication, and classroom management.

I hold Brunel's READY Certificate of Employability Skills and READY Leadership Award — both issued competitively to a select cohort across the university. I'm actively targeting graduate roles in software engineering and cybersecurity.
