I'm a third culture kid that grew up in sunny Muscat, Oman and moved to a rainy UK in 2013 to study Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Bristol. It was my time here that ignited my interest in technology - particularly at the intersection between software and hardware. I graduated as one of the top students in my class, was lucky enough to receive a scholarship along the way, and I even built a drone that flew into volcanoes!

Fresh out of university in 2017, I fulfilled my childhood dream of working with cars for a living by joining Jaguar Land Rover's graduate engineering programme in Warwickshire. I undertook various engineering roles during my 5.5 years there including software developer, systems engineer and scrum master. It gave me a real appreciation for large-scale software engineering, as I led a number of interesting projects from concept to production. My personal highlight was leading the software development of the new instrument cluster in the 2023 Range Rover.

Although I learnt a lot during my time at JLR, I realised that I wanted to continue improving my programming skills. So I began learning web development and built open-source projects in my free time (like this dashboard).

In 2023, I took the plunge and became a full-time software engineer when I joined the team at Cambustion in Cambridge. These days, I channel my creativity into crafting full-stack and cross-platform applications that drive data visualisation and scientific computing for groundbreaking scientific instruments, used by customers across academia and industry.
