I've been doing small freelance projects through everything.fyi, creating websites and AI tools for startups across healthcare, fashion, retail, and entertainment. 100% 5-star reviews so far.

I created SeatJSON, a universal JSON format for seating layouts (designed for theatres but can in theory be used for anything).

I started trading AI domains. Current portfolio: label.ai, overdub.ai, ghostlight.ai, keyring.ai, granita.ai, mediary.ai, smartmob.ai, tofrom.ai.

I became the lead organiser of BathML, a machine learning meetup in Bath with 700 members. I gave a talk on whether GPT will take your job, and another on self-attention.

I made a page about the oncoming AI revolution called paperclips.ai.

I launched Minds Almost Meeting, a podcast between economist Robin Hanson and philosopher Agnes Callard. I have since produced 11 seasons, designing cover art, editing and mastering the audio, and publishing episodes. I was a guest on two episodes:

• Is life worth living?
• Why is truth good?

I built the website for Grabby Aliens, a scientific model suggesting the existence of expanding alien civilisations.

Selected (with three others) from 600 applicants to present the all new Polestar 2 at the company's first UK showroom in Westfield London.

Aged 19, I got a job at Tesla and completed all the training. But then Covid arrived and I was too new to be furloughed, so it ended before it really began.

I sold West End theatre tickets from the official red booth in the center of Leicester Square.

I was a stage manager at the Bloomsbury Theatre and on shows across London, including From Here to Eternity, Sweeney Todd, Songs for a New World, and Legally Blonde. I was also a committee member and publicity designer for UCL Musical Theatre Society, creating posters for [title of show], American Idiot, and other events.

Started studying for my English BA at UCL (2018–2021).

I volunteered at Theatre Royal Bath as an ASM on Legacy, a play performed in and across two theatres simultaneously.

I created a theatre blog called Playhouse.press. My team of ten recruits and I reviewed shows, shared industry news, and interviewed West End stars.

In the summer, I helped filmmakers from CBS Reality produce twelve television trailers starring the journalist Donal MacIntyre.
