I'm a final-year Cybersecurity and Networking student at Northumbria University, on track for First Class Honours and a recipient of the Emdad Scholarship.

I'm engineering agentic security tools and researching how autonomous AI will reshape both sides of the cyber arms race.

I'm also building Sweaty, a social platform for gamers.

Recently, my team and I took home the Innovation Award at Northumbria's , where we built a digital solution to a problem affecting the people of the UK.
