I am a second-year university student who builds software and works with data.
My work sits where data science, full-stack development, and product building meet. I ship Python data pipelines, web apps, and early-stage startup products, turning messy data into clear, usable insight.
- Working as a Performance Analyst Intern, turning footage and data into insight
- Building data science projects in Python (49,000+ match dataset, World Cup prediction model)
- Co-founding Lumideck, an AI EdTech study platform
- Placed 2nd at Hack Belfast with a gamified café-discovery app
Open to: internships and graduate roles in data science, software engineering, and product.
