• Cars - Started by learning by working on my car, from servicing it to diagnosing when problems arose, it has taught me a lot about the complexity of vehicles. Made me start thinking outside the box, doing research to find out more information and try to solve the problem on my own before taking it to a garage.
• Sim Racing - My friends and I have competed in a self run league on F1, understanding different car set-ups on different tracks, applying strategy to tyres and varying race conditions.
• Basketball - Wessex Div 4, now retired due to injuries but communication, fast paced teamwork and working under pressure.
• Polish Society - Vice president 2023- 2024, helped organise events and promote the society, working with the treasury, social and president to make an inclusive and fun event open to everyone.
• Travelling - Have travelled across many countries (from USA to Europe to Africa) with family / friends and solo, developing a wider cultural understanding and exploring different environments. - Next on the List Japan.

Final Year Thesis: "Experimental determination of Aerodynamic Forces on Moto GP"

Wind tunnel testing on self made winglets and triple wing configuration resulting in a 20% increase in downforce production.
