About

I grew up learning how to solve problems before I knew what to call them. That mindset came from my grandparents born during conflict and it stuck: be resourceful, adapt quickly, and find a way forward. Today, I work at Arup across energy, data, and product management, turning complex systems into things that actually work and deliver value. Recent work includes: 1. Scaling a platform 2x, driving 7-figure impact 2. Automating analysis from days to minutes 3. Leading data and commercial oversight across large infrastructure programmes I am at my best on ambitious problems. If I believe in the why, I go all in - bringing the passion, grit, adaptability, technical and management skills to see it through. Outside of work: I speak 6 languages, code in 4 (but mostly Python now), ran a couple of half marathons, and a tendency to say yes to things I’ve never done before.
