I took 43 flights in 45 weeks doing street photography.

Theatre and rowing

I played Lady Macbeth in the school's Macbeth. It was a boys' school, so someone had to. I was also in its first student-led play and got scouted by an acting agency at 15. On the water, I coxed an under-15 four that won a national B final.

A year at SUTD

I spent a year on exchange at SUTD in Singapore. I shot street photography on a Fujifilm and took 43 flights in 45 weeks, fitted around the degree.

I also mentored a student team for STEAMunity, who won Best Prototype and presented to the Deputy Prime Minister, and did research for ALITA, a legal innovation group in Asia-Pacific.

The AI programme at Innovi

Back in Cardiff for final year, I took on the AI programme at Innovi Advisors, a UK accountancy practice, part-time. I sat with the partners to find where staff time went, then turned 15 stalled draft agents into one agent the team uses day to day. I ran the staff training too.

A First from Cardiff

I graduated with a First in Computer Science from Cardiff University. Alongside the degree I ran events for the university's AI safety society.

A national pharmacy group

In August I got my first client of my own, a national UK pharmacy group with about £500m turnover, delivered through Innovi. I spent three days on site with Finance and HR, and three Copilot agents shipped. HR staff built two of them after an hour with me. Then I wrote the Executive Director a letter on what worked and who should own the next phase.

Founding Vedas

In October I set up Vedas, my own company. Our first product is Workings by Vedas, for UK accounting firms. A firm uploads a client's files and gets back a draft pack for VAT, Making Tax Digital, Self Assessment or year-end accounts. Anything unclear comes to the accountant as a question. The accountant checks the pack and signs, and nothing is filed for them.

Much of it was built during three weeks in India this autumn. It's live at vedas.cloud.
