About me
From structures to software.
I’m a BSc (Hons) Computer Science student at Leeds Beckett University with a growing interest in software development, artificial intelligence and technology that solves real-world problems.
My route began in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Leeds, where I learned to think analytically, work in teams and approach complex challenges like an engineer. That curiosity about how systems work led me to computing.
I learn best by building: turning an idea into a working project, understanding what happens behind the scenes, then testing and improving it. Alongside my studies I’ve represented students and worked with ICE and CIOB, and today I run two small ventures, Wynn Orbit and LazyGrizzlyStudio.
“Learn broadly, build thoughtfully, and keep improving.”
