About me
I'm a full-stack developer and entrepreneurial M.Sci. Computer Science student at the University of Birmingham, ranked 1st in the UK for Computer Science. I've helped deliver large-scale government software used by 300,000+ people, and I like building clean, scalable products that solve real problems. I'm currently looking for summer internships and opportunities to grow my current start-ups / join new ones where I can contribute quickly and learn from a strong team.
