Dear curious visitor,
I’m studying Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Sydney, with a focus on robotics and AI. Alongside that, I tutor students and build tools to help people learn.
Tutoring has shaped how I approach engineering. When something isn’t working, I try to find the part I don’t understand and work from there.
Tutra is the main thing I’m building: a student-to-student tutoring platform for Australia and New Zealand that puts more of the lesson fee in tutors’ hands. We also offer free learning resources, including interactive labs, and software that helps tutors spend less time on admin and more time teaching.
Tutoring gave me a few ideas. Tutra is what happened next.
MiAI helps university students use AI as a learning aid: to understand difficult ideas, learn faster and develop new skills, rather than simply get an answer to a question. I’m building practical guides and tools that help students ask better questions, work through problems and check their understanding.
A personal workspace bringing university planning, tutoring, budgeting and notes together. It’s where I’m exploring file organisation, automation and tools that make my own day a little easier.
Alongside the websites, I’m learning through C++, electronics, CAD and 3D printing. I like moving between software and physical prototypes: modelling a part, making it, and seeing what needs to change once it’s in front of me.
2025–present · Expected graduation 2028
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechatronics, specialising in Robotics and Intelligent Systems. I’m a Dalyell Scholar, studying across software, electronics and mechanical design.
2024 · Health Sciences First Year
Before moving into engineering, I completed Health Sciences First Year. Studying human physiology and cell biology gave me a different starting point for my interest in robotics and the human body.
2018–2022 · Havelock North, New Zealand
NCEA Levels 1, 2 and 3, endorsed with Excellence. My subjects included Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English Literature. I also served as a House Leader.
Self-employed · 2018–present
One-to-one teaching in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology across NCEA, IB and Australian curricula, from primary school through to university. I work backwards from where a student gets stuck, then help them build enough understanding and practice to work independently.
May 2026–present · Australia
I’m a top 2% tutor in Australia, selected to tutor independently through Tutero. I plan online lessons around each student’s coursework and the ideas they’re finding difficult, adapting the explanation and practice to suit them.
December 2024–February 2025 · Hastings, New Zealand
I helped customers with enquiries and purchases, managed stock and storage, and set up shelf labels and promotional displays.
July–October 2024 · Dunedin, New Zealand
Helped students explore bed options and make purchases, and promoted the company through in-person conversations and social media.
December 2022–February 2024 · Havelock North, New Zealand
Helped customers with plants and products, handled purchases and orders, cared for plants and kept seasonal displays and stock in order.
