What I Do

I enjoy solving complex problems at the intersection of technology, data, and people. From building a tennis analytics startup to modelling engineering systems and optimising operational processes, I am driven by finding practical solutions that create measurable impact.

I'm graduating July 2026 and actively seeking graduate roles in Data Analytics and Business Analysis.

Projects

🎾 Racket Pulse — B2B Analytics Platform for Tennis Academies

I grew up inside a tennis academy, watching coaches give the same verbal feedback session after session with no way to track whether anything was actually changing. Every smart sensor on the market was built for players, not the coaches trying to develop them. So I built the B2B version that didn't exist. Top 10 Finalist at the Greenwich Enterprise Challenge out of 200 entrants, with a full financial model pointing to break-even by Month 10–12.

💻 Inside the Racket — Frame Vibration Modelling with MATLAB & ANSYS

Once I'd committed to Racket Pulse, I wanted to know if the physics actually held up so I turned my final year dissertation into the engineering proof. I built a parametric MATLAB-to-ANSYS pipeline to model how racket frames vibrate on impact, validated to within 0.5% of real-world experimental data. Scored 80%. The first open framework of its kind in sports engineering.

🎭 Showcase Operations — Delivering a Large-Scale Dance Production

I joined Perspective TC as a dancer. Somehow I ended up co-producing the annual showcase. 70 performers, 15 pieces, a £5,000 budget, and a 12-hour show day: coordinated from the very first planning meeting to the final bow. We're doing it again in July 2026.
