Summary

I am a smart and hard working problem solver who loves building real systems and improving how they perform under pressure. I am naturally extroverted and confident, and I feel comfortable collaborating in groups and communicating clearly when the work demands it. I bring a calm, methodical approach to challenges, and I care about delivering clean results, learning fast, and making myself and the people around me better.

Interests

Kickboxing I have trained in kickboxing since I was six years old and it has stayed a constant in my life ever since I am a 2nd dan black belt, I represent the University of Edinburgh, and I competed at the University Kickboxing Nationals in March 2024 in the men’s advanced middleweight category I love the mix of discipline and intensity, and I’m drawn to the feeling of progressing through hard training and then proving it under pressure

Chess Chess is where I go to think slowly and deeply I’m around 2000 on Chesscom and I enjoy studying classic games because they feel like puzzles with personality I’ve spent hours analysing players like Tal and Fischer, and I like the way chess rewards both creativity and precision if you’re willing to put the work in

Poker I’ve been playing poker profitably with friends for a few years and I genuinely love the mental side of it I pride myself on reading less experienced players, and I’ve also outplayed stronger players by applying ideas from hours of studying poker theory What I enjoy most is making calm, disciplined decisions with incomplete information, and then seeing the long-term results of consistently good judgment
