As a developer in the London Base and Precious metals trading office I work closely with the team to deliver bespoke software to support and streamline their trading workflows. Please see my developer experience for more.
In early 2022, I was approached by the precious metals desk to join their team in a trading capacity. I will be taking up that role in June 2022, with a remit to drive better technical fluency and adoption of trading technology on the desk.

I have a deep passion for physics and have had a very rewarding five years sharing my love of the subject in the classrooms of this East London Comprehensive. I became a Specialist Leader of Education (SLE) for Physics in 2019, and in that role have delivered many training and coaching sessions supporting non-specialist physics teachers. I was later awarded an “Expert Practitioner” award for outstanding mentoring of trainee teachers by the University of Cantebury.
I’m proud that my A-level students’ progress was recognised as being in the top 10% nationally (via ALPS) in 3 of my first 4 years. I have appeared on Radio 4 with my students discussing a collaborative project I ran with Queen Mary University.
I am passionate about sustainability and creating a more equal society. In 2019 I proactively secured a £95k grant to improve the school’s energy efficiency with a lighting overhaul. I brought together a team of colleagues into a task-group aimed at reducing energy, paper and plastic usage and formed a student group to give the student body agency in driving sustainable initiatives. I care deeply about female and BAME representation in STEM subjects, co-ordinating my school’s involvement in a pilot study with King’s College and the Institute of Physics which resulted in a 5-fold increase in female uptake of A-Level physics.

As a risk consultant I worked with colleagues and embedded in client teams on large, high-hazard and highly regulated process industry projects. We were tasked with analysing complex systems using a breadth of techniques and software to assess risks associated with fault conditions, and thus demonstrate acceptability of risk to regulators. In these jobs—as in software development—clear, unambiguous communication in complex contexts was essential.
