§ 01 — About

Insuperposition.

AI and Computer Science Graduate working across quantum algorithms, ML, and full-stack development. Currently finishing an MSc at Durham. Open to roles in 2026.

I enrolled at university at sixteen on an international scholarship, graduated with a degree in AI & Computer Science from Birmingham, and wrote a dissertation on quantum-classical hybrid optimisation that earned a 78% and a paper forthcoming.

At Durham, I'm deepening into deep learning, recommender systems, and NLP, while my MSc dissertation extends that quantum work into entanglement routing across real network topologies. I like problems that sit uncomfortably between fields.

Outside research I ship things: MindByte, a semantic flashcard tool built for neurodivergent learners, is live. Orbitron, an AI astronomy app with real-time satellite tracking, deploys this August. I've also written for Redbrickon AI safety, quantum computing, and Python's intellectual lineage.

I'm looking for the right AI research or engineering role in 2026, somewhere that takes both rigour and craft seriously.
