💬 In the last 3 years in the UK, I've personally held four visa types — 🎓 Student → 🎓 Graduate → 💼 Tier 2 Skilled Worker → 🌟 Global Talent — all before the age of 25. I didn't read about this system. I lived it, while working at Big 4 consulting firms and building AI infrastructure from scratch.

💬 I'm endorsed by UKRI Innovate UK for the Global Talent Visa as exceptional talent in Data Science & AI — placing me among fewer than 0.003% of UK tech immigrants. Before this role, I worked as a consultant at Grant Thornton UK and RSM UK, navigating visa transitions in real time while delivering senior-level AI projects.

💬 I'm not an immigration lawyer. I'm someone who has been through every major UK visa route, worked inside Big 4 professional services firms, and reached a senior technology leadership role before 25 — all as an international professional. The anxiety of visa renewals, the job search with no UK network, the transition from student to professional — I've navigated all of it recently and firsthand.

💬 When you book a session with me, you get honest, practical, lived experience — not generic advice pulled from a government webpage. I'll tell you what actually matters, what's a waste of time, and how to position yourself for the outcome you want.
