Building things that matter. Studying what breaks.
Cybersecurity student and community builder working at the intersection of security, education, and people. Founder of Unihack connecting student technologists across the UK.
Student-led hackathon organisation connecting universities across the UK. Built from scratch brand, platform, community, and events pipeline.
Part of Birmingham City University's innovation ecosystem a space where students build, test, and launch ideas at the intersection of technology and enterprise.
Designing a Cyber Security Operations Model for Birmingham City Council, a public sector client whose monitoring and incident response activities are currently fragmented across multiple teams and tools. The project aims to improve threat visibility, support clear decision-making during incidents, and ensure risks to council services and citizen data are managed appropriately. Deliverables include a SIEM-aligned detection framework, incident prioritisation workflow, and a reporting structure for both technical teams and senior management.
Co-Founded Zentic Health as part of the Future Foudners Talent Programme, selected as the winner of the competition. Zentic Health aims to bridge the gap between patients and GPs.
I'm a second-year BSc (Hons) Cyber Security student based in Birmingham with an upcoming Cyber Security Internship at National Gas. I'm passionate about Cyber Security and Community Building.
Within security, I'm drawn to the analytical side understanding how attacks unfold, how defenders respond, and how organisations can be better prepared. My near-term goal is to work as a SOC Analyst, building the hands-on experience and depth needed to eventually move into Technology Consulting advising organisations on risk, AI, resilience, and strategy.
Outside of my degree, I genuinely enjoy putting things together. Whether that's running a hackathon organisation (Unihack), building a startup programme at my university (BCU Innovation Labs), or being part of the BCU Computer Science Society I find that the best learning happens when you're building something real with other people.
Incoming Cyber Security Intern at National Gas, where I will be supporting the protection of critical infrastructure that keeps the UK’s energy system running.
Launched BCU's first ever student-led startup programme. Aiming to support students from all disciplines, from Computer Science, to Law, to Biomedical Sciences. Partnered with societies, academics, communities and successful Birmingham based founders to produce an immersive experience. Secured a main stage slot at innovation fest for founders to pitch their ideas in May 2026.
Supporting undergraduate teaching sessions as a visiting demonstrator assisting students with practical exercises, clarifying technical concepts, and helping bridge the gap between theory and hands-on application in a university lab setting.
Founded and continue to lead Unihack, a student-run hackathon organisation connecting universities across the UK. Built from the ground up including brand identity, website, partnerships, and event logistics. Creating a space where students from any background can build, collaborate, and compete on a national stage.
Conducted market and competitive analysis to identify macroeconomic risks and growth opportunities for an AI-driven quantitative finance startup. Shaped product strategy by recommending a differentiation-focused approach targeting high-net-worth investors and fund managers with AI-powered predictive tools. Built a three-year growth and funding roadmap, identifying up to £3.1m in potential financing through EIC Accelerator grants and British Business Bank loans. Collaborated cross-functionally across Data Analytics and Business to design a scalable business model and optimise cost structures for AI development and cloud infrastructure.
Got stuck into operational and market data from day one exploring processes, identifying inefficiencies, and surfacing insights to improve how the team works. Turned numbers and patterns into practical recommendations the team could act on. Given full ownership of work, which pushed me to think critically, challenge assumptions, and deliver analysis that made a tangible difference to business decisions.
Created detailed walkthroughs for Capture The Flag (CTF) rooms on TryHackMe, helping members strengthen their technical understanding and problem-solving ability. Led peer learning sessions focused on structured thinking and clear communication of complex security concepts. Also heading a team of researchers and blog writers covering emerging cybersecurity topics, building a knowledge-sharing culture within the society.
Founded and led the Computer Science Society, growing it to 230+ members in under two months to become the university's largest student society. Oversaw operations, event planning, and strategy to build an inclusive, career-focused tech community. Organised technical workshops, networking sessions, career panels, and a UK-wide hackathon under Unihack, collaborating with societies across STEM and humanities. Partnered with faculty and external organisations to align activities with academic goals. Secured corporate sponsorships and partnerships to fund events, expand resources, and deliver professional development opportunities for students.
