Profile

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 the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), and today I run two small ventures, Wynn Orbit and LazyGrizzlyStudio.

“Learn broadly, build thoughtfully, and keep improving.”
