STEM Teacher — Robotics · AI · Coding · CAD
“Making STEM click for every age, from a child’s first robot to a teenager’s first line of code.”
Engineer by training,
teacher by choice.
The short version: aerospace engineering gave me the mindset — the classroom is where I put it to work.
I hold an MSc in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Sheffield and am a STEM.org Certified™ Master Trainer. I chose to bring my engineering expertise into the classroom to inspire students to look toward the future. With the UAE Vision 2030 placing a massive emphasis on youth leadership in space, AI, and advanced technology, my goal is to prepare students to lead these very industries. Over the past three years teaching in the UK, India, and the UAE, I’ve used robotics, drone programming, AI, coding, and CAD to teach kids the same problem-solving skills I used during my engineering studies. I stay active in the field as a hobbyist drone builder, bringing fresh, real-world tech into my lessons. I am also Google Educator Level 1 and Level 2 certified, with a deep commitment to supporting neurodivergent learners in inclusive classrooms.
What I bring into the lab
Three countries, one classroom mindset.
From Harrogate to Bangalore to Dubai — designing hands-on STEM programmes that meet students where they are.
