About Me

Bridging Code & Commerce: I am a Computer Science student at Royal Holloway with an unconventional background. My journey didn't start with textbooks; it started with entrepreneurship. Scaling my own e-commerce business taught me the value of operational leverage, which drove me to master software engineering so I could build the systems I wished existed.
Building Complex Architecture: From architecting fully automated, multi-tiered SaaS platforms using Python, REST APIs, and Stripe Webhooks, to developing high-speed AI text transformation tools. I specialize in identifying bottlenecks and engineering robust software solutions to solve them.
Leadership & Performance: As the 1st Team Captain of the Royal Holloway Men's Basketball team, I orchestrated a performance turnaround, leading the squad to our first league promotion in 5 years and securing the LUSL Cup. I thrive in high-pressure environments, whether it's executing a 48-hour AI hackathon or leading a team to victory.
The Hustle: Before diving deep into computer science, I ranked #1 in a cohort of 50+ in door-to-door sales, mastering negotiation and behavioral psychology. I don't just write code; I understand how to position products, manage KPIs, and communicate technical value to end-users.
