Practice
What I do
Build projects from the ground up across iOS, web, infrastructure, and AI orchestration. Work with clients on what they actually need, paying ones and prospective ones. Network heavily underneath the work: corporate panel hosting, ongoing charity speaking, regular introductions across London. Three lanes, one operator, real ship pressure across all of them.
Background
About me
Twenty-four. London. Computer Science at Reading. I started building things on the side because the lectures never quite stuck until I had to ship something that used the concept, and most of what is on this site came out of that habit.
Most of the work happens in evenings and weekends. Contracting during the week at MDX Technology in London on the AI side of a real-time financial data platform. Charity panel hosting for Teenage Cancer Trust before that, in front of mixed corporate audiences. Quietly more useful than the degree.
Bias is toward shipping over talking about shipping. If the work is not good the description will not save it. Most of these projects took longer than I planned and that is fine.
Off-stage
Speaking and leadership
- Hosted corporate talk panels and delivered presentations for Teenage Cancer Trust, the youth-cancer charity supporting people aged 13 to 24. Represented the charity at high-profile corporate and celebrity events.
- Hosted a panel at Samsung Kings Cross on building and shipping consumer hardware. Ran the conversation, framed the questions, kept it on the rails for the audience.
