I studied at Sheffield Hallam University (First Class Hons, 2019) with a placement year at Richlyn Systems (2017-2019), where I fell in love with building software.

After graduating, I worked at the quantitative hedge fund Winton whilst co-founding my first startup, Repetitio, in 2019. I was made redundant during the pandemic and so I called my best mate from university and we started Forward Digital together in 2020.

I scaled Forward Digital from inception to a global client base including the UK government and leading financial institutions. I decided to step down in 2025 to focus my energy elsewhere.

It was in 2021 that I moved abroad and lived in Berlin for 3 years, and it was in Berlin that I experienced the language barrier first hand. This was the inspiration to build Lingly, my current venture. We're solving the language barrier in adult social care.
