Maths × Computer Science × Initiative
I’m Alex — a St Andrews student working across software, data and finance. I build quickly, reason rigorously and lead calmly when the stakes are real.
Selected work
Products and systems shaped around real people, real constraints and measurable outcomes — not just portfolio prompts.
Co-founded and built a student resource platform from blank page to launch in one month — then reached 40,000+ visits and 150,000+ Instagram impressions in the first month.

Summer Actuarial Analyst
Forecast algorithm failure using Monte Carlo simulation, built a medical-plan calculator spanning 40,000+ permutations and modelled micro-region flood risk.
Head Instructor · Military Working Dog Unit
Promoted to the highest enlistee rank, led course delivery for more than 100 trainees and represented Singapore in demonstrations for international military delegations.
The wider story
Leadership came before software. Mathematics gave it structure. University turned both into a way of building.
Mathematics, computer science, internships, open source and coaching — where the pieces came together.

A-levels, Head Boy and learning to ask for more.
Start at the beginningHow I work
Tools change. The ability to understand a system, communicate clearly and carry work across the finish line compounds.
I care about the full path from ambiguous need to working interface — architecture, edge cases, interaction and adoption.
I turn uncertainty into models, decisions and explainable outcomes — from Monte Carlo forecasts to spatial CRM analysis.
Military instruction and coaching taught me to set a standard, read the room and help a team perform under pressure.
