Engineering student with a clear ambition: a career in Formula 1.
I combine academic study in Maths, Physics, Geography and Design & Technology
with hands-on project work — from designing and building a competition robot as
Head Chassis Engineer for Student Robotics 2026, to a live client
brief designing an adjustable lectern for my school's headteacher.
Outside engineering, I have trained in Tang Soo Do for nine years,
reaching 2nd Dan Black Belt and competing internationally, while simultaneously
volunteering as a senior instructor — teaching students from age 7
to adult. I lead where it's needed: as squad captain, as a mentor, and as
Co-Head of Physics Society. I'm looking for environments that reward curiosity,
precision, and the willingness to do the work.
