Consistently strong academic results: A* Economics, A Mathematics, A Physics at A-Level. Proven ability to perform under pressure through competitive sport at national level and leadership roles.
Self-starter who independently designed, developed, and deployed multiple full-stack applications — not as a computer science student, but as someone who sees a problem and builds the solution.
Strong communicator with experience in client-facing tutoring, coaching young athletes at national competitions, and leading sessions for groups of up to 30 people.

Work
Projects
2025 — Present
Tutor Management App
Built a web application to help university student tutors manage their GCSE and A-Level students, featuring session scheduling, the ability to post online resources, and a Q&A area for student queries. Designed to solve a real operational problem faced during tutoring work at MDF Tuition — born from first-hand experience of the workflow gaps tutors face.
2025 — Present
Flatmate — Shared Household Expense App
Full-stack prototype to track shared household costs and split bills automatically between flatmates. Integrates AI-powered receipt scanning via the Claude API, real-time shopping list, user authentication, and a split-payment ledger using Supabase and Amazon Amplify. Deployed and being tested online.
History
Experience
Trainee Actuary — Work Placement
Reassure Insurance
Spent a week embedded within a professional actuarial team at one of the UK’s largest insurance firms, attending internal strategy meetings and observing first-hand how data drives commercial decisions. Worked directly with the company’s insurance pricing calculator — examined the underlying code and data tables used to build risk models and generate customer quotes. Developed spreadsheets and customer query frameworks; gained concrete understanding of how data and AI tools are reshaping the insurance industry. This placement confirmed my interest in finance and technology, shaping my decision to focus on statistics and quantitative methods.
Professional Tutor — Economics & Maths (A-Level)
MDF Tuition
Handpicked by a professional tutoring company to teach A-Level Economics and Maths to paying clients and their families. Client-facing role requiring the ability to adapt explanations quickly, build trust with students and parents, and deliver results under expectation.
Digital Product Design — Work Placement
Space01
Built a digital product from scratch over one week: survey design, data collection, and front-end development. First substantive exposure to building with technology — directly inspired the self-teaching that led to the Flatmate and Tutor Management apps.
Business Studies Student Leader
Weydon School
Appointed to run an after-school Business and Economics club for younger students; designed activity-based sessions covering economic theory and business strategy. When sessions lost engagement, redesigned them on the spot — behaviour and participation improved as a result.
Junior Instructor & Coach
Taekwondo Club
Led warm-ups, sparring, and self-defence sessions for classes of approximately 30 students; coached athletes 1-on-1 at national tournaments with parents watching. Received multiple positive reports from parents on communication style and ability to manage children under pressure, with coached students going on to achieve national medals.
