(01) About
I'm a Year 13 student and part-time Full Stack C# developer in London, rebuilding a law firm's debt recovery platform. Outside of professional software development, I investigate the limits of AI systems and teach computer science through lectures as the founder of my school's Computer Science Society.
A system's power
comes from what
it prevents.
From my personal statement, after working through the MIU puzzle in Hofstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach.

Youth AI Literacy Programme · King's Cross
Five days building and testing an AI project from scratch. I led research and evaluation for a Socratic teaching agent and coordinated the team's technical work. We placed 2nd of 15. Also tested BBC R&D's Pathfinder platform and talked my feedback through with their team.

Software engineering work experience
How insurance requirements become software: Brossa, Artificial's Haskell-inspired language, mapping ISO 27001 controls to NIST, and client demos. I spent two days trying to break the AgLabs human-to-agent and agent-to-agent platform, then presented the orchestration and workflow issues to the team.

01 · 2026 — Now · PyTorch, Ripser
Do a language model's internal states look different when it is about to give a wrong answer? A PCA baseline on residual-stream activations didn't separate them linearly, so I moved to persistent homology: Vietoris–Rips complexes over the activations, tracking which loops survive as the radius grows.
Code on GitHub ↗02 · 2025 — 2026 · PyTorch, Librosa
A convolutional network that flags AI-generated audio. Short-time Fourier transforms turn each waveform into a Mel-spectrogram, and the model looks for patterns a human voice doesn't make, such as frequencies that stop dead.
Code on GitHub ↗03 · 2026 · AI Futures Challenge
People won't say how they really use AI at work if they think HR can trace the answer. Lyra Pulse randomises every response on the device, under a managed privacy budget, and treats the server as already compromised. Individual answers are deniable; the aggregate is still accurate.

04 · 2026 · Google, RAG, Gemini
A suite of 120+ probes to catch prompt injection, formatting bypasses, sycophancy and overconfidence in a teaching agent, plus a 75 MB supervised Q&A dataset. Retrieval, few-shot prompting and adversarial testing took it from 74 to 115 out of 120.
2nd of 15 teams.

Caius Explore · Philosophy
University of Cambridge
Free will as a capacity to respond to reasons. A compatibilist case: freedom comes from understanding, reconsidering and acting on reasons, not from escaping causation.
“Clear, focussed, and well-written essay, which demonstrates a strong understanding of the relevant issues.”
Caius Explore · Economics
University of Cambridge
The 2008 financial crisis, argued through one idea: securitisation separated risk from responsibility, which is how losses in the US housing market became a global funding crisis.
“An unusually sharp, essay-not-encyclopedia-entry piece of writing… the analytical quality is very high.”
Essay competition · Economics
Philosophy of economics
What makes economics a discipline when the people it studies read what it writes. Publicity strengthens coordination rules and dissolves exploitable ones, so a complete economic claim has to state how being known will alter the evidence for it.
“An ambitious, genuinely original argument that threads Lucas, Goodhart and MacKenzie into a single thesis, with a command of the literature well beyond school level.”
Essay competition
Philosophy of mind
Thinking and feeling may be different problems. Computation might be enough for thought; feeling could need something a machine doesn't have: something to lose.
“If we ever create a machine that can feel, are we also creating something that can suffer?”
