“We’ve always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible.” - Interstellar 🚀

I’ve kept practising what I’ve learned so far with and I love how these photos turn out to be, after putting my shooting and editing skills to the test. Nonetheless, the journey is long and I still have much to learn!

Thank you and farewell BT.
After 5 years in the research role, I've decided to move onto a new exciting challenge. I have had the chance to work with brilliant colleagues, learn a lot of new things, and have fun along the way! A big thank you to everyone I have worked with me and those that have provided me with great opportunities.

I'm feeling very proud to announce that both of my VR projects have been shortlisted for an E&T Innovation Award for the Cyber Security category.
Good luck for all the nominees and looking forward for the ceremony.

Fantastic night with a room full of inspiring people. Hearing how everyone kept the country connected during the pandemic was impressive.
Huge congratulations to this year's winners, at The ITP Awards in London.

It was an excellent experience to be part of the Competition organised by the Institution of Engineering and Technology ( ). I was able to present my idea on how can change and improve the way we work from home and suprised for winning the Stage 1 award of the competition.

Not only allowed me to present my ideas and train my pitch, but it also allow me to connect with other people and learn from other topics being presented.

Even though I wasn't able to progress to the final stages of the competition, it was a superb way to improve my presentation skills and connect with others.

If someone has an engineering idea to share, I recommend applying for next year event, because I definitely will be there again 😁
