About

I'm a Politics and International Relations undergraduate at the University of Surrey building software across AI, civic infrastructure, and personal productivity.

I also lead student societies at Surrey as President of the Artificial Intelligence & Data Science Society and Vice President of the Neurotech Society.

Projects

Fable is a local-first AI workspace for real work: chat, projects, connectors, knowledge, schedules, approvals, memory, and BYOK model paths inside a Tauri desktop shell. I built the desktop preview, protocol/connectors/knowledge packages, broker and waitlist workers, marketing site, recovery paths, and product status docs.

Memvella is a voice-first memory support companion for people in early-stage cognitive decline and the family members supporting them. It combines a gentle tablet experience for routines, memories, and prompts with carer-side tools for adding context, coordinating support, and keeping the person's life story close; it won the £500 Ignite award from the Surrey Innovation and Enterprise Hub.

TokenMaxxer is a local-first desktop app I built to make LLM quotas, balances, reset windows, token totals, and spend visible in one place. It tracks multiple provider account types while keeping credentials in native secure storage.

SurreySocieties is a three-site platform I built for the Surrey AI, Business, and Neurotech societies. It pairs Astro public sites with isolated Clerk-protected admin dashboards, shared Convex functions, committee and event management, uploads, assistant widgets, audit logs, and handover-safe permissions.
