I'm a Computer Science & Engineering undergraduate interested in the space where:

software engineering × research × machine learning × data systems

meet.

I like building things that are useful, breaking them to understand their limits, and then asking why they behaved the way they did.

My interests currently sit around:

• 🔬 Research & experimental software
• 🤖 Machine learning & AI
• 🧠 Human-centered and intelligent systems
• 📊 Data-intensive applications
• 🛠️ Full-stack & backend engineering
• 🧩 Reliable and resilient systems
• 🌐 Web, APIs & distributed applications
• 🥽 Immersive / VR systems

I don't just want software to work.
I want to understand what happens when it doesn't.

My projects usually fall somewhere between research prototype, engineering system and experiment.

Projects exploring machine learning, robustness, human behaviour, research workflows and data-driven systems.

Full-stack applications with APIs, databases, dashboards, authentication, data pipelines and real-world workflows.

Production-oriented interfaces and applications built with modern JavaScript/TypeScript stacks.

Exposure to VR, 3D environments and immersive applications through work with BuildVR / GretXP.

A research platform designed for longitudinal study workflows involving participant management, research sessions, wearable data, symptoms, adherence and research datasets.

Stack

Next.js · TypeScript · Tailwind CSS · Node.js · Express · MongoDB · Flutter

Focus

Research Software · Data Collection · Wearables · Dashboards · ML Data Pipelines

An experimental project exploring machine-learning robustness under noise and imperfect conditions.

Instead of asking only:

"How accurate is the model?"

the project asks:

"What happens when the assumptions around the model stop being true?"

Focus

Machine Learning · Robustness · Noise · Experimentation

A research-oriented platform designed to help researchers explore and navigate academic information using AI-assisted workflows.

Focus

Research Tools · AI · Information Retrieval · Web Applications

Explore ARPIS →

A web application focused on digital logistics and cargo workflows.

Stack

React · JavaScript · CSS · Web Development

Live Project →

An exploration of local-first / offline-first systems designed for environments where connectivity cannot be assumed.

The central question:

How do we build useful digital systems when the network isn't reliable?

Marketing + Software / Immersive Technology

Worked across both technical and content-oriented sides of an immersive technology platform.

Areas of exposure:

• VR and immersive experiences
• 3D / virtual environments
• Web development
• Product/content integration
• Testing and deployment
• SEO and technical content
• Blogs and social media
• Product communication

The experience taught me something I value a lot:

Good technology also needs to be understandable to the person using it.

Marketing + Web Development

Worked across product, development and marketing workflows for a technology-enabled corporate food platform.

Areas of work included:

• Web development
• Frontend work
• Website migration and maintenance
• Content
• SEO
• Marketing
• Product communication
