Things built, then measured.
Each one lists what the problem was, what I did, what the result was, and what broke along the way.
A brushless motor, wound by hand
Designed, printed and wound an outrunner BLDC motor, then built a rig to measure how its efficiency falls away with speed.
A go-kart, from tube to telemetry
Designed a chassis in CAD, welded it, hung a 7 hp engine and a CVT off it, and built an Arduino telemetry stack to watch what it does.
A robot that climbs a pipe with no code in it
IMechE Design Challenge 2026. A self-contained pipe climber built to a £50 budget and a rule forbidding any programming. Second of 50+ UCL teams.
Low-voltage loom, UCL Racing 2026
Junior IC loom designer on UCL Racing's Formula Student car: sensor selection and the low-voltage side of a single integrated vehicle harness.
Machine learning at Pirelli R&D
A machine learning project inside Pirelli's motorsport tyre manufacturing R&D function. The work itself is confidential.
BLang: 60,000 users, and not a business
Co-founded an AI language-learning platform, grew it past 60,000 users worldwide, and shut it down because the unit economics never worked.
RC Startup Factory
Founded a programme to turn school projects into actual companies. A year after we left, it was the largest club in the school.
Selling people their own pets
A satirical pet-meat brand, built as a serious design object to argue about food ethics. Outstanding High School Project at the Biodesign Challenge Summit, New York.
Destination Imagination: machinery that has to work first time
Led the technical side of a competition team for two years. Turkish national champions both times. This is where the electronics started.
Biodiesel from the wrong feedstock
Set out to make biodiesel from marine mucilage in the Marmara Sea. The mucilage didn't turn up, so we made it from waste cooking oil instead.
Robert College Student Council
Two years on the council, from level representative to president, and the $50,000 festival that was the largest thing it ran.
