About

Cyber security researcher and software engineer based in the UK.

I am a cyber security postgraduate and software engineer with around ten years' experience running my own web development agency. I am completing an MSc in Computer Science for Cyber Security at Oxford Brookes University, and applying for a self-funded PhD at the University of Southampton (start September 2027) to develop ThreatBytes — an agentic, neural network-integrated engine for the predictive detection, analysis and prevention of novel malicious software.
