Hacktoberfest 2026 β Hatfield
Wrapped up a Hacktoberfest community event in Hatfield, celebrating open source with local developers and students.
Software & AI Automation Engineer. I build AI agents and cloud automation, speak at tech events, and run developer communities.
I'm a technology-driven problem solver building scalable, secure, and automated systems β and increasingly, AI agents that actually get things done. As founder of OLATECH Solutions, I work across cloud-native infrastructure, DevOps and security; as an AI intern at Decode Lab and a Python developer intern at Redynox, I've been getting my hands dirty in applied AI and production code.
I'm also a researcher and speaker β from presenting postgraduate research on AI adoption among early-stage entrepreneurs at the Hertfordshire Business School Symposium, to speaking on AI agents and agentic frameworks at Acadademy's Tech Cohort, to building an AI voice-negotiation agent (VeraMove) at a 5,500-applicant global hackathon with Hack-Nation and MIT Sloan.
Community is where it all connects: I co-founded Xtructure, a developer community for connecting builders and creating opportunity through tech, I'm a 2026 Ambassador for Thinking About Thinking (responsible AI discourse), a Student Representative at the University of Hertfordshire, and an Aspire Leaders Program graduate β always looking for the next room worth showing up in.
Designing and automating scalable, secure infrastructure β CI/CD, cloud-native deployments and DevOps culture, end to end.
Building agentic systems and voice AI in hackathons, interning as an AI engineer, and researching how AI adoption reshapes opportunity for early-stage founders.
Speaking at and building developer communities β co-founding Xtructure, and showing up from student hackathons to global roadshows like Google I/O Extended.
A running feed of talks, workshops and events β updated every time I show up somewhere new.

Captivating conversations meet cutting-edge technology. Tech talk gets personal, and the future unfolds one episode at a time.
Hello, tech aficionados β welcome to "CTRL + Chat," where I sit down with some of the brightest minds in tech for candid conversations on careers, AI, ethics, failure and everything shaping the future of the industry.
Articles and write-ups, published out on Dev.to, Medium and Devpost β this is where I'll drop the hook and send you to the full read.
Placeholders β once you publish, swap each card's headline, tags and link for the real thing. Same idea as the Gallery section: this is a template, not a promise.
