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.

What I'm into
Technology
Always curious about how things work under the hood, and what's coming next.

Studying it at A-level, and genuinely enjoy the problem-solving side of it.
Artificial Intelligence
Interested in what AI can (and can't) do, and how it's changing the way we build things.
Building Projects
I like turning ideas into something real, even if it's rough around the edges.
Leadership
Taking initiative at school — organising events and helping projects actually happen.
Learning
Trying to stay a beginner at something new, on top of everything else.
