What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role where I can apply my chemical engineering and analytical skills to real-world challenges, while continuing to learn, take on responsibility, and contribute to meaningful projects.

At Barclays, I benchmarked deposit pricing across 15+ competitor banks, and my findings were escalated to the Head of Business Banking and fed a review that led to repricing. I also built a control-testing framework covering 150+ business banking processes.

I rebuilt Barclays’ internal knowledge hub and authored training materials for a 150-person rollout. Active users increased by 300%, and the platform remained in use after my internship.

As a Research Intern at Canary Energy, I analysed competitors across West Africa and built an automated Excel model of regional energy pricing. The model fed the firm’s forecasting work and cut eight hours of manual analysis per week.

I founded Renewed2Resell, an e-commerce resale business that sells 120+ units annually and generates £5k+ profit at 20% margins. I also built an automated inventory tracking and reporting tool that saves four hours of manual admin per week.
