About

Building things
that actually work.

I'm a Python and AI developer based in Coventry, West Midlands, open to roles anywhere in the UK. Over four years I have built and shipped production systems end to end — FastAPI REST APIs, React/Next.js frontends, RAG pipelines, ML models, and full CI/CD infrastructure.

My MSc dissertation at Coventry University achieved 97.6% weighted F1 using a Vision Transformer on chest X-ray data, deployed to production with FastAPI, React, and Docker.

I hold a Graduate Visa and am available immediately for permanent or contract roles.
