Founder & CEO @ Apprentice Wizard • Infrastructure Engineer @ J.P. Morgan
I build the tools I wish I'd had. Self-taught at 16, shipping in production at 18.
I build things I needed and couldn't find.
At 16, mid-lockdown, that was a Minecraft mod — my mods have since passed 190,000+ downloads and taught me how to ship. Today it's Apprentice Wizard, the platform I founded to fix UK apprenticeship hunting: 15,000+ live roles, an application tracker, and AI CV tooling used by students across the country.
By day I'm an Infrastructure Engineer Degree Apprentice at J.P. Morgan, reading Software Engineering at the University of Exeter.
Note
My philosophy: a pilot has to know how the plane flies — not just which buttons to press. Learn the language, learn the tool, then use the tool.
