I'm an AI and software engineer with a First-Class BSc in Artificial Intelligence with Computer Science from the University of Birmingham.
I'm currently the Co-founder, CTO & Lead Software Engineer at Matched Stay, where I build web and mobile products for corporate travel and long-term worker accommodation.
I like building useful systems from scratch: full-stack platforms, applied AI tools, automation workflows, research prototypes and products that move from vague idea to real users.
- Shipping production-grade full-stack software
- Applied AI, LLMs and machine learning systems
- Travel tech, booking workflows and operational software
- AI for chemistry, drug discovery and scientific tooling
- Automation, OSINT-style research and data-driven products
- Becoming a stronger engineer, founder and operator every year
Co-founded and built a live travel-booking platform for managing long-term worker accommodation.
- Built web and mobile products with Next.js, React Native, Node.js and Firebase
- Owned technical delivery across product design, database design, APIs, deployment and release testing
- Worked directly with users, investors and business stakeholders to turn operational requirements into product decisions
Built an AI/ML research pipeline for molecule generation and property-aligned drug discovery.
- Used ChemBERTa embeddings, autoencoders, transformer models, reinforcement learning and supervised learning
- Used LLM-generated pharmacological labels to support downstream classifiers and reward functions
- Built a full-stack researcher-facing web application for experimenting with the pipeline
Worked on machine learning architectures for digital chemistry and computer vision.
- Experimented with autoencoders for molecular skeleton representations
- Reported findings to domain experts and produced technical research outputs for further experimentation
- Ultra running
- Mixed martial arts
- OSINT research
- Language learning, currently German
- Reading about strategy, technology, economics and high-performance systems
