About

I'm a second-year Computer Science student at Lancaster University. I work as a Teaching Assistant for Computer and Systems Architecture, and as a Quantitative Developer at the Ghosal Investment Fund.

Outside of school, I am passionate about all things data science, sport, and finance.

In my free time I enjoy mountaineering and trail running.

Native French and English, German (B1).

I'm looking for internships and opportunities in software engineering, data science, or quantitative development.
