About

BUILDER.
THINKER.
STUDENT.

I'm a junior at Portola High School with a thing for building software that actually ships. My work spans cross-platform mobile development, backend infrastructure, and product thinking.

Grew up in London, recently moved to California — I see things from both sides of the Atlantic. I hold UK citizenship and I'm planning to study Computer Science in New York City. I like hard problems, clean code, and chai.

I DID IT
Inventions Platform · Web

A platform where anyone can post their inventions, prototypes, and creative builds — and get them seen. Built on the belief that great ideas don't need a patent office or a product launch to be worth sharing.

Building Apps
From idea to shipped product. I like software that solves real problems — clean architecture, thoughtful UX, and engineering that actually holds up.

London & Beyond
Grew up in London, now in California, heading to NYC. Three cities, one perspective — interested in how culture, tech, and ambition collide differently in each place.
