Learn more about me
I'm a developer who got hooked on coding challenges at a young age and never really stopped. Along the way I picked up magic, photography and videography, which keep me creative outside of work.
Growing up between India and the UK gave me an early taste for different cultures. I studied abroad in South Korea right through the pandemic, and despite everything managed to build real friendships and get properly stuck into life there. That experience made me want to keep working internationally and seeing more of the world.
Amrit is very hard working and is someone who pays great attention to detail.
I instructed Amrit in the Software Engineering and the SE Group project courses. He was unquestionably an able student, his work in the class consistently reflected a high level of competence in Software Engineering. He also helped me as a Teaching assistant in both modules. During the conduct of this work, I found that he has a strong work ethic. I was very pleased with his commitment and his professionalism.
Amrit Singh is without doubt one of the most advanced students I’ve supervised projects for. He worked on advanced search methods for the turn-based strategy game Tribes. This was a research project that entailed understanding of abstract and complex algorithms and the right research skills for performing literature review, experimentation, and analysis. He was able to rapidly get up to speed with the project, understand and implement the algorithms required and start the experimentation work. For the full testimonial, Click Here

Backend engineer, fluent in Python and Go, shipping production systems against ambiguous requirements. I've been writing software professionally since 2017, and I'm equally happy digging into a hard problem alone or working through it with a team.
Queen Mary University of London, UK
University is no ride in the park. Therefore, I am proud to say that I was not only able to do well but thrive at university. I'm very good at meeting deadlines, thinking on my feet and facing changes that I have never seen before head-on. University was also an outlet for me to meet new people and try new things that I otherwise wouldn't be able to. My university transcript is available here.
Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea
I spent the better part of the year studying, exploring and living in South Korea. This was all due to my home university allowing me to participate in a student exchange program at SNU(Seoul National University). This opportunity was the first time I was away from home for an extended period of time and quite honestly, it was a life-changing experience. I have countless stories and anecdotes from my time in Korea that I will never forget and would love to talk about.
Greenford High School, London
Though my focus has shifted to professional achievements, my academic foundation demonstrates my commitment to excellence. At A-Level, I achieved A*AB, along with an A in AS-level Computer Science. In high school, I completed 13 GCSEs, all A*-C. This reflects my long-standing "work hard, play hard" approach, consistently balancing ambition with enjoyment in every stage of my journey.
I also have two BTEC Level 2 Diplomas in "Aviation Studies" and "Teamwork and Personal Development". These were achieved in the Air Cadet Forces.

Wild Playing Cards is a shared brand a friend and I created during the pandemic. The brand has since wound down; its Instagram page lives on as an archive.
This was a society at my university that I helped run with roughly 50 members and events that gathered 20-30 people.
I have had many teaching opportunities that I have always taken. This started at sixth form when I became a teaching assistant to my math teachers
for their GCSE classes. I then carried on to tutor Maths and Computer Science online using a site called "My Tutor". I also jumped at the
opportunity to become a TA(Teaching Assistant)/demonstrator for the modules I had done at University. These modules include: Procedural Programming,
Object-Oriented Programming, Fundamentals of Web Technology, Software Engineering projects and Database Systems.
The reason I started and enjoy teaching was due to one little quote my A-Level maths teacher told me: "The best way to learn is to teach".
