Seven years of auditing systems taught me how they fail. Now I build business applications with the controls auditors ask for designed in from day one.
Pre-written answers, no AI. Or just scroll.
Work
Five projects, each with a case study: what the problem was, what I built and how I kept it safe.

Case study → MSc dissertationLoan Default Prediction
Credit-risk models rebuilt and stress-tested: the perfect score didn't survive, and real loans gave an AUC of about 0.8.
Case study →Experience
Seven years in IT Risk Assurance. That discipline shapes how I build: tested, documented, and made for people who aren't developers.

About
I think about workflows, approvals, segregation of duties and audit trails before I think about frameworks.
By day I am a Manager in IT Risk Assurance at PwC Channel Islands, leading IT systems audits and digital transformation work for clients across banking, telecoms and insurance. Seven years of internal controls, information security and risk management taught me how to translate business requirements into practical software.
Outside client work I build the software above on my own time. I completed a Certificate in Software Engineering at Refactory Academy, and an MSc in Data Science with Distinction, where my dissertation used predictive analytics to forecast loan defaults for microfinance institutions.
