About

The short version

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.
