MEng Computer Science (Software Engineering) student at the University of Sheffield, predicted 2:1. I build backend, cloud and data-platform projects with an emphasis on systems that can be explained, tested and operated.
Currently looking for Summer 2026 internships in software engineering, cloud/platform engineering, backend engineering, fintech technology, technology risk or consulting-adjacent technical roles.
