His career blends university research roles and commercial development work, giving him a pragmatic lens for turning research insights into production-ready systems. He also contributes to computer science education through MSc teaching and long-standing volunteer mentoring for youth coding initiatives, reflecting a commitment to growing the next generation of developers.
