    Software Engineering Intern · Overmind

    • Ran end-to-end agent optimisation experiments on the Overmind platform, driving iterative prompt/tool/logic improvements through a state-machine-based optimiser with automated eval scoring.
    • Working full-stack on the agent improvement pipeline — from trace/dataset ingestion and data engineering through agentic optimisation experiments, model fine-tuning and production rollout.

Autonomous agents negotiating satellite collision avoidance

Environment Track — NVIDIA GTC Hack for Impact

  • A decentralised system where autonomous agents negotiate satellite collision avoidance manoeuvres in seconds, reducing debris cascades.
  • Dual-path collision risk classifier pairing rule-based thresholds with an XGBoost model (8 features, 4 risk classes) to capture compound interactions beyond hard rules.
  • Real-time feature extraction from live CelesTrak conjunction data and NOAA space weather feeds.

Multi-agent compliance monitoring with a patrol swarm

1st Place — UCL BUILD AI Festival

  • A multi-agent AI compliance monitoring system, built around a patrol swarm that escalates findings through a staged investigation pipeline.
  • LangGraph and NVIDIA Nemotron drive the swarm using pheromone-based sampling and quorum voting.
  • A 4-stage investigation pipeline fed by an ETL layer ingesting A2A messages, emails, PRs and documents into SQLite, backed by NetworkX for inter-agent graph analysis.

Simulated agentic web use, turned into UX feedback

1st Place — Bloomsbury Startup Academy Demo Day

  • An agentic platform that simulates real user behaviour against a live product and turns the traces into actionable UX feedback and codegen fixes.
  • LangChain drives the agents, Playwright drives the browser, and the GitHub API and Gemini CLI close the loop with automated fixes.
  • Synthetic automated user testing drove a 30% conversion rate in preliminary beta.
  • 2nd Place at the Gemini 3 London Hackathon, judged by Google; shortlisted for the Google AI Futures Fund interview.
