      Our company Unum was a jewellery brand which we curated and where I got to learn many skills such as negotiations, selling merchandise, branding, marketing, finance and logistics.

In multiple categories such as product aesthetics, product sustainability, product branding and customer satisfaction we were in the top 2% of the companies. From selling in a pop-up stall in a mall, in exhibitions and from our websites, we were able to create a total of 200 orders offline and 300 orders online, bringing our total profit to £8000.

      Summer Research Student

      I researched on millennium problems in this course, on the six that are not solved yet and the one that is solved. I looked at small parts of the puzzle and did some work on it, truly finding out how tedious solving these problems are and why even the greatest mathematicians are still working on them. We used python to reduce are work by 1000 times ratio, and still we weren’t even able to make a dent on a relatively small part of the problems. At the end of the course we had metal mathematics challenges to win special pens that had moon rock particles on the cap. Out of 6 pens given out I managed to win one of them in integration race.

      The internship taught me key fundamentals of the nature and uses of artificial intelligence. Firstly, we learned how Artificial intelligence facial recognition work on security cameras and how the software can be modified to be used in specific situations. Secondly, we understood the concept of deep/machine learning and studied at miniature robots and toys that have this tech. We then progressed to neural network softwares in both online and offline games and other appliances. Lastly we created software for puppy robots so that they are self-learning using codes from GitHub. Show less

      An expedition in Brecon Beacons, South Wales, where we learned how to navigate using compass and map without the use of any technology. My group of 5 students had 30 kg (60LB) rucksacks in which we carried food, stove, tents and sleeping bags. We built tents to sleep and cooked food ourselves every night. We navigated through the tallest mountains in 35 degrees Celsius for 4 days in a training expedition and -5 degrees Celsius in the final expedition which was graded. Our research project was on local lichen we encountered during the trekking in South Wales. We took data and pictures on site of the various species of lichen, later we analysed the strata and came up with a research presentation. The presentation consisted of an Investigation on different species of lichen and look for relationship between their growth and the altitude.

      I learned under senior chartered accountant and senior finance accountant to understand accounting paperwork and accounts. I started by double-checking the budget calculations, overlooking cash inflow and outflow and controlling unwanted costs and overheads. Soon I started making finance systems that worked more efficiently than the ones that were existing. I created charts and workflows that simplified cash transactions. Finally, by using better financial ratios and understanding finance in a more molecular level I was able to reduce the overheads by 25%. I had to work on my feet and come up with solutions, such as merging logistics costs and reducing overtime while increasing work productivity. Show less
