Introduction
I'm an Engineer, Founder, and Hackathon Winner
based in London.
I want to build cool stuff for people and agents. Right now that means Refinery, which proves AI changes to mainframe COBOL are safe to deploy, and a team of AI agents I build almost everything with.
By day I'm an Analyst in Data & AI at ION. Before that I was a software engineer at SAP at 19, a Palantir Winter Fellow, and the #1 IBM Z Student Ambassador worldwide.
I studied Electrical & Electronic Engineering at Manchester, and I spend most weekends at hackathons. Eight wins so far. Always happy to build something together.
