I'm a second-year Computer Science student at the University of Leicester (graduating 2026), passionate about developing technology to solve complex problems and continuously expanding my knowledge in areas like software development, data analysis, UI/UX and AI. I'm currently preparing for my third-year project and am always eager to learn and apply new skills. I approach challenges with an analytical mindset and enjoy breaking down complex problems into manageable solutions. I thrive in collaborative environments and believe in the power of technology to make a positive impact.

This profile showcases a range of my work, including foundational projects from my earlier studies and ongoing development projects from my BSc in Computer Science.

I am eager to apply my analytical abilities and growing research interest in a practical setting. I am particularly seeking:

• Research-related internship opportunities where I can contribute to meaningful projects, gain hands-on experience with various research methodologies (especially qualitative and mixed-methods), and support data analysis.
• Opportunities to collaborate within a dynamic team and learn from experienced researchers, particularly in fields intersecting with technology, healthcare, or data science.

This section highlights key projects from my ongoing BSc in Computer Science, demonstrating practical application of software development, data analysis, and design principles. More details and the source code for each can be found in their respective repositories.
