I like knowing how things actually work.

From the chip that moves your data…

…to the app you open at the other end, and everything in between.

Where I am

Now

Degree Apprentice Solution Engineer at Cisco, on my first rotation with the Country Digital Acceleration public sector team.

I'm getting exposure to government digital transformation projects, and the technical design and development of networking, cybersecurity and digital infrastructure behind them. The aim is practical: better connectivity for public services, and real social impact.

FileFlow

Secure file sharing that picks the right path. Send to a username and the file goes directly between browsers over peer-to-peer, or sits briefly on the server when that's the more reliable route. Accounts are verified, so only the right person gets it.

SalahApp

A minimal salah app that shows everything you need and nothing you don't. Three APIs behind one screen: London Unified prayer times, a random ayah generator and the sunrise time. No ads, no clutter.
