Education:

Stanley Park High School, now known as Oaks Park High School (2010-2018)
Royal Holloway, University of London (2018 – 2022)
Qualifications:

GCSEs: 4 A*, 6 As, 1 B (Spanish)
A-levels: CCD, retook a year later BBB (chemistry, maths, physics).
Extended Project Qualification – A*

Studying for a Computer Science BSci at Royal Holloway, University of London. Currently on track for a first

So far my A-levels have been important for getting into the university I specifically wanted to get into. They rejected me the first time when I got CCD, but later accepted me with BBB.
Work History:

Week’s work experience in a computer repair shop in year 10.
2 weeks internship at an antivirus company (Emsisoft) in year 12.
Started working part time at the antivirus company as a malware analyst in year 12.
Current Job:

Started a business with my business partner around providing custom ransomware decrypters in my first year of university.
Started working for Intel as a Software Engineer Intern for my year in industry placement.

What’s your project about?: I am currently working on adding code to calculate how good a machine is at drawing boxes around objects. I also work on finding unknown bad files.
My Typical Day:

I get up for work at 9 am
What I'd do with the prize money:

I would use the money to invest a local school to be able to access Raspberry Pis and then work with them on a teaching plan focused around them.
What’s your project about?: I am currently working on adding code to calculate how good a machine is at drawing boxes around objects. I also work on finding unknown bad files.
Have you got any videos/images of the project?:

This is a YouTube video demonstrating how a neural network (in this case TinyYOLOv3) can be given a video and then able to give us boxes to draw around objects and tell us what the object is.
How will your work shape the future?:

These kind of neural networks will and are being used with self-driving cars to identify when to speed up and slow down, as well as keep an eye on the environment so that they don’t crash into objects. I truly believe that self-driving cars will be the future so technologies like these that are currently being worked on and improved are essential.
Do you have any extra resources?:
