Student interested in data, AI engineering, and product. I like working with teams that have hard problems to solve, and understanding the full picture of how a system works.

About

I'm a second-year Chemistry and Mathematics student at the University of St Andrews (Dean's List 2023/24), currently working as an AI Agent Engineer at Together Alone Ventures, a privacy-tech startup building cryptographic data-deletion infrastructure on the Internet Computer Protocol.

My day-to-day involves designing autonomous AI systems, integrating cloud infrastructure, and shipping product that sits at the edge of what's technically possible in compliance and decentralised data. I'm drawn to roles where technical depth and product thinking have to coexist, where understanding how a system is built informs how it should be used.

Outside of work, I care about applying quantitative reasoning to real problems. My background in Chemistry and Mathematics gives me a systematic approach to analysis, whether that's in data, in code, or in a room with a team trying to figure something out.

Projects

Zombie Delete

Cryptographic proof-of-deletion standard for enterprise and blockchain. Generates Cryptographically Verifiable Deletion Receipts (CVDRs), independent proof of erasure across 20+ chains and cloud storage. Demoed at Web Summit Qatar, Wolves Summit semi-finals, and The Pitch Berlin.

ICP / Blockchain Cryptography React.js Compliance
Bonded — POHR Protocol

Proof of Human Relationship protocol enabling verifiable, privacy-preserving evidence of personal relationships for immigration, insurance, healthcare, and legal use cases. 2nd place at the ICP Global Hackathon UK qualifier.

Web3 Identity ICP LegalTech
Multi-agent AI stack

Designed and built an autonomous multi-agent orchestration system handling finance processing, investor relations, content production, and CRM operations, running on cloud infrastructure with persistent storage, cron scheduling, and OCR pipelines.

AI Agent Engineer

Remote

Designing and building AI agent systems that automate the full arc of data analysis — from inspecting a raw dataset to deciding what's worth analysing to producing finished, ready-to-run deliverables. The goal is to put rigorous analytical output directly into the hands of non-technical stakeholders, without a data scientist in the loop for every question.

  • Architect multi-stage agent pipelines that examine data, propose an analysis plan, generate the analysis, and validate it before delivery
  • Build tooling that turns complex, messy datasets into clear visualisations and executable, presentation-ready outputs
  • Design reusable agent architectures that generalise across datasets and research domains, rather than one-off scripts
  • Encode domain knowledge, quality standards, and guardrails into agents so output stays correct, consistent, and on-brand
  • Translate stakeholder questions into automated analytical workflows and iterate on them with end users

AI Agent Engineer

Internship · Remote

Building and operating the autonomous back-office infrastructure for a privacy-tech startup on the Internet Computer Protocol. Designed the agent architecture from scratch; now runs finance, CRM, content, and investor relations autonomously.

  • Built the multi-agent orchestration stack powering the company's autonomous operations across finance, CRM, content, and investor outreach
  • Implemented agent identity and skill-based tool routing so tasks are automatically handed off to the right specialist agent
  • Set up cron scheduling, OCR document pipelines, and persistent cloud storage for long-running, stateful workflows
  • Coordinated inter-agent communication across cloud and ICP blockchain infrastructure
