secondary school + sixth form
where it all started — pinner, blazers, and the slow realisation that computers do exactly what you tell them to. gcses, then a-levels, then the train into london.
bsc computer science · first class
four years learning to code properly — theory by day, side quests by night, with a year out in industry to see how the real thing ships.
tutor · maths & science
teaching it back — maths and science to students from year 7 up to a-level, turning "i don't get it" into "oh, that's it" one whiteboard at a time.
tutor · computer science
computer science tutor — year 7 to a-level, from first loops and variables all the way to full a-level coursework projects.
placement year · gen-ai + test assurance
scoped gen-ai assistant use-cases for business analysts, then helped run the test programme rolling out 140 new security lanes across an actual airport.
side quest · manchester
a supercomputing weekend up in manchester — computing insight uk. a team, a cluster, a deadline, and far too much coffee.
associate ai innovation engineer
building agentic tooling on gcp — vertex, cloud run, langsmith — in python and java. agents that investigate, resolve, and occasionally surprise us.
side quest · paris
a day at anthropic's claude founder house in paris — a room full of people building with claude, heads down until it worked, then showing each other what came out of it.
