What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles applying computer vision and ML at scale, in collaborative teams that value performance optimization, research-driven development, and mentorship.

I am a BSc Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence graduate from the University of Southampton with hands-on experience in computer vision, distributed systems, and software engineering. I have led teams and projects that delivered performance improvements—such as optimizing a Java/MySQL dashboard to handle 15 million records and tuning a PyTorch/CUDA pipeline to reach consistent 80% GPU utilization on HPC nodes.

I combine research-driven work in explainable AI and prototypical networks with practical engineering: building distributed TCP/IP storage systems, production-style Discord bots backed by MongoDB, and image-recognition pipelines using SIFT, FFT-based kernels, and SVMs. I enjoy mentoring and teaching, having instructed TensorFlow workshops and served as an elected society president managing events, sponsorships, and a six-figure student-run budget.
