About
I'm a UCL Mechanical Engineering MEng graduate with an Upper Second-Class Honours degree and industry experience at SLB and Ura Thrusters. Most of my work sits somewhere between Python, numerical modelling and systems that have to behave outside a notebook.
At SLB, that meant noisy sensor data, Kalman filters, firmware diagnostics and a motor-control digital twin. In markets, it has meant building and running a systematic strategy stack, checking whether research survives costs and watching what actually happens at execution.
QuantSilico is the largest project I'm building right now, but it is one part of a wider body of work that includes control systems, embedded engineering, machine learning and financial modelling.

POWERLIFTING
Competitive powerlifter. I like problems that don't care how clever you are, only whether the bar moves.
