Hey, I'm Mike.

I work in agentic engineering and AI research on open-source models. Since September 2026, I have built at five hackathons, including a first place in the Pydantic side challenge at the London Agentic AI Hack.

A bit about me

"The interesting question is never which model is better. It's what you can actually do with it."

I build systems to explore how agents can solve complex tasks and to evaluate the safety of open-source models. My work focuses on agentic engineering and practical applications for education and research. I started A-levels in Computer Science, Physics and Maths in Cambridge on an academic scholarship on 1 September 2026.
