My research focused on a branch of mathematics known as algebraic geometry, which seeks to understand the properties of shapes that can be described by polynomials. My work interacted with wider questions about possible classifications of these shapes, and in particular I studied an associated structure known as the derived category, which captures a lot of information about these objects and has links to ideas in the realm of theoretical physics.

For experts, I worked on using the machinery of geometric invariant theory to find derived autoequivalences and establish semiorthogonal decompositions.

I graduated with first class honours. My final year thesis was on non-Archimedean geometry, studying the notion of Berkovich spaces.

As part of the data retention team, I created software to detect and delete inaccessible user data in the company databases. I enhanced the team's existing deletion pipelines to support automatic deletion of entire columns in a database. As this was a critical operation, I designed safeguards to minimise risk of deleting in-use data.

I worked in a backend team which managed virtual machines used by developers across the company. Spikes in the loads on specific servers frequently lead to delays and downtime in the services provided by the team, and previously required manual intervention. I developed an algorithm and various heuristics to rebalance the resource usage.
