Hi, I'm Saksham. I build technology that makes a difference.
I'm a Year 13 student passionate about software engineering, artificial intelligence and creating practical solutions to real-world problems. From assistive technology to websites and software projects, I enjoy turning ideas into things people can use.

A bit about me
I'm a sixth-form student at Wallington County Grammar School with a strong interest in Computer Science, AI, Geography and entrepreneurship. I enjoy understanding how things work, experimenting with new ideas, and turning those ideas into projects that people can actually use.
Outside of academics, I've taken on leadership roles at school, helped organise events and worked on projects with other students. I'm particularly interested in technology and how it can be used to solve real-world problems, but I'm equally fascinated by how places, businesses and communities change over time.
I'm still learning, and I don't pretend to have everything figured out. For me, that's part of the fun. I like learning by doing, trying things, making mistakes and improving along the way.
This website is a place to share what I'm working on, what I'm learning, and the experiences that are shaping where I want to go next. I'll also be keeping a weekly blog, sharing what I've been getting up to each week, from projects and events to things I've learned, interesting experiences and whatever else I've been working on.
