EDUCATION
Imperial College London London, UK
BEng Mathematics and Computer Science Sep 2025 - Jun 2028
Rawlins Academy Loughborough, UK
A-levels: (1st ranked) 4A*s Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Computer Science Aug 2023 - Jun 2025

WORK EXPERIENCE
Fibonacci Words Research Loughborough University
Researcher Jun 2024 - Aug 2024
• Conducted research on Fibonacci word structures, focusing on their combinatorial properties and proving
quasi-periodicity under university supervision.
• Explored the global (concatenation) and local (letter-by-letter) generation rules of Fibonacci words, drawing
parallels to Fibonacci number sequences.
• Investigated the connection between Fibonacci words and the golden ratio, demonstrating how geometric
constructions reveal deeper structural and self-similar patterns.

PROJECTS
TRaiL - AI-Powered Search & Rescue System | UCL AI Festival Top 6 | Presented to Welsh Government
• Implemented ground vs helicopter route comparison with automated severity-based recommendations,
logging all requests to continuously improve predictions
• Built a full Django REST backend that preprocesses elevation, weather, and terrain data to train a Graph
Neural Network for rescue route prediction, generating optimal routes with ETA predictions ~30% more
accurate than Google Maps on mountainous terrain
Voice Assistant for Elderly & Mobility-Impaired Users
• Built a voice assistant enabling users with limited mobility to fully control their operating system hands-free
• Integrated control for 20+ desktop applications (navigation, system commands, productivity tools)
• Trained and fine-tuned a CNN-based speech recognition model to improve application-name recognition
accuracy by ~35% over built-in libraries
• Presented the project at the Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, earning a Silver Award
Arduino Chess Board with Move Recognition
• Designed and built a physical chessboard using Arduino and weight sensors to automatically detect and
record player moves.
• Implemented a machine-learning model to map sensor data to board states, achieving ~93% move
recognition accuracy.
• Enabled digital game logging and analysis from a physical board.
Moon-lander game
• Developed a multi-platform game in Python with realistic 2D physics (gravity, thrust, and rotation).
• Integrated a cloud database for cross-device progress synchronisation.
• Achieved 100+ active players across multiple platforms.
