About Me

I am a Computer Science graduate from the University of Leicester with a predicted First Class degree. I enjoy building practical software that solves real problems, especially full-stack web applications with clean interfaces, secure backend logic and database-driven features.

My strongest project experience includes a multi-modal graphical authentication system using JavaScript, Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, MediaPipe, Python and Flask, alongside web projects such as MCR Moments and IBM SkillBuild. I am currently looking for opportunities where I can continue developing as a software developer, data-focused technologist or junior technology professional.
