About me
I like understanding how things work, whether that’s the economics behind a decision, the numbers behind a football player’s performance or the technology behind an application.
Studying Mathematics with Economics gives me a foundation in analytical thinking. Outside my degree, I’ve been using AI to research unfamiliar subjects, work with data and turn ideas into working prototypes. I’m comfortable starting independently, learning as I go and working out where I can contribute.
I also enjoy helping people understand difficult things. As an A-level tutor and taekwondo instructor, I’ve learnt to explain ideas clearly, adapt to different people and stay calm under pressure. Competing at national level has taught me how to prepare, take feedback and keep improving.
I’m looking for a placement where I can bring that combination of curiosity, quantitative skills and initiative.

Experience
A-level Tutor, Economics & Mathematics
MDF Tuition
I help students understand difficult concepts, work through questions and improve their exam technique. Tutoring has taught me to find different ways of explaining an idea and adapt my approach to the person in front of me.
Junior Instructor & Coach
Farnham School of Taekwondo
Led warm-ups, sparring and self-defence sessions for groups of around 30 students, alongside one-to-one coaching at national tournaments.
The role involved keeping groups engaged, giving clear feedback and helping young athletes prepare and perform under pressure.
Trainee Actuary, Work Placement
ReAssure
Spent a week with an actuarial team, attending internal strategy meetings and seeing how data informs business decisions.
Worked with an insurance pricing calculator and examined the underlying code and data tables used to model risk and generate customer quotes.
Business Studies Student Leader
Weydon School
Held a student leadership role in Business Studies during my time at Weydon School.
Digital Product Design, Work Placement
Space01
An early opportunity to explore digital product design in a professional setting.
Education
2025 – 2029 (expected)
BSc Mathematics with Economics
University of Exeter
Currently in my second year, studying mathematics alongside economics, with a built-in placement year in 2027–28.
My studies cover statistics, linear algebra, calculus, differential equations, real analysis, algebraic structures and microeconomics, alongside mathematics for machine learning and AI.
I also participate in university AI workshops covering model building, ethics and practical applications.
2023 – 2025
A-levels
Royal Grammar School, Guildford
Economics: A* · Mathematics: A · Physics: A
For my extended research project, I investigated how game theory, particularly the Prisoner’s Dilemma, relates to blockchain security. The project involved reading primary research and engaging with economic theory beyond the A-level syllabus.
2020 – 2023
GCSEs
Weydon School
Mathematics · Further Mathematics · English Language · English Literature · Physics · Chemistry · Biology · Business · History · French · Computer Science
Achievements
Competition, creativity and getting outdoors.
British Taekwondo Champion
British Champion in U18 sparring in 2023, English silver medallist in 2022 and 2024, and national bronze medallist in 2023.
Eight years of training have taught me discipline, resilience and how to respond to feedback.
Duke of Edinburgh Gold
Completed the Gold Award, including volunteering, a residential and a four-day expedition in the Brecon Beacons.
Scotland coast-to-coast
At 15, I planned and led an unsupported crossing of Scotland on foot with two friends. A lesson in preparation, teamwork and making decisions when things don’t go to plan.
NASA / KCL Physics Camp
Took part in a programme at King’s College London, working with NASA engineers and astronauts.
Wilderness canoeing
Six canoe expeditions through remote parts of Sweden and Finland. I enjoy the independence, planning and problem-solving that come with travelling somewhere unfamiliar.
Guitar
I’ve played guitar for eight years. It’s a creative outlet and something I keep coming back to alongside studying, sport and building projects.
Projects
SAVE.IT
Saving together for the things you want to do together.
A social savings app where friends chip in towards shared goals, like a canoe trip to Finland or a joint 21st present, and talk about them in a group chat built into each goal.
I designed and prototyped it in React, focusing on two features: contributions and messaging.
I’m now investigating open banking solutions that will enable the features in the app.
Skills: Product design · React · Prototyping · Open banking research
PitchMetrics
Exploring what shapes Premier League results.
An independent football analytics project combining my interests in mathematics, economics and football.
I used Python and statistical modelling to analyse Premier League data and test how factors including team form, travel, weather and wider economic conditions relate to match outcomes.
I presented the findings through an interactive website, making the analysis accessible and easy to explore.
Skills: Python · Statistical modelling · Data analysis · Interactive web development
Football Scouting Model
Using data to find players who fit.
Watching Brentford’s recruitment approach helped spark this project: how could a club use data to identify promising players within its budget?
I designed a SQL database and built a model that scores and ranks players using match and performance data, producing recruitment shortlists against positional and budget constraints.
The model uses per-90-minute metrics and a minimum playing-time threshold to reduce the influence of small samples. I’m now exploring which metrics matter most for each position, how to weight them and how to compare players across leagues.
Skills: SQL · Data modelling · Statistical thinking · Football analysis
Flatmate
Making shared household expenses easier to manage.
A full-stack prototype for tracking household costs and automatically splitting bills between flatmates.
It combines AI-powered receipt scanning through the Claude API, a real-time shared shopping list, user authentication and a ledger showing who owes what. I built it using Supabase and AWS Amplify.
The project brings together a practical everyday problem, interface design and the technical work needed to connect everything.
Skills: Full-stack development · API integration · Authentication · Database design
Sky Viewer
Helping you work out what to look for in tonight’s sky.
I came up with the concept together with my grandad.
An interactive star map that shows the sky from your location at any date and time, with constellations and objects labelled.
It recommends targets for the night based on how high they are, how dark the sky is, your equipment and the cloud forecast. Each object explains where to look, the best time to see it and whether you need binoculars or a telescope.
Skills: Web development · Data visualisation · API integration · Interface design
AI & Wealth Management Report
Turning a broad subject into a structured research paper.
A 20-page whitepaper exploring AI and wealth management, drawing on 49 primary sources.
I used AI to support the research process, bringing sources and ideas together into a coherent paper. It was an opportunity to explore a subject beyond my degree and practise communicating a complex topic clearly.
Skills: Research · Source evaluation · Synthesis · Written communication
Out there
Usually somewhere with a map.
When I’m not studying or building things, I’m often outdoors: walking across Scotland, canoeing through Scandinavia or planning the next trip with friends.
I like the challenge of figuring out a route, carrying what I need and adapting along the way.
