I graduated with a 1st class degree in electronic and electrical engineering from London South Bank University in 2020. As a member of the robotics society, I had the pleasure of representing the university in the  Engineering for People (EfP) Design Challenge, Mayor's Entrepreneur Competition, Pi Wars and the ImechE design challenge. I have a passion for robotic control software and my final year project was titled Quadrupedal robotic Platform for research on legged motion. It was a mechatronic project that required me to design and build a 4 legged robot and control software that would traverse over uneven terrain, using ROS (Robotic Operating System).

I worked at London south Bank University (2021-2022) as an associate researcher, in the mechanical engineering department. My role required me to design a novel machine (thermal transfer printer) for the packaging industry with input from both academic and industrial partners.
