Alex has always shown an excitement for innovation. While at UoM, Alex developed a revolutionary design for a robotic prosthetic limb - chosen for publication in a peer reviewed journal before he’d even graduated. For his master’s degree, Alex led a team of post-graduates to international success by becoming the winners in a design innovation competition for their creation of a bionic prosthetic hand.

Following university, Alex maintained his haste for success, joining Rolls-Royce as a graduate engineer, and moving through roles as an analyst, researcher and finally a design engineer for future gas turbines. Alex has established an extensive knowledge of C#, C, Python, MATLAB, HTML, CSS and JavaScript through his education and pastime programming and designing mobile applications and games.

From an early age, Ahmed demonstrated enormous potential, taking multiple examinations years early. He achieved three consecutive Gold awards in the UKMT Math. Challenge (top 6%) and straight A* grades in his high-school exams, then a First in BSc Physics. He gained a prestigious £28,000 Institute of Physics scholarship to attend University of Cambridge. There, he performed with the famed ‘Footlights’ comedy troupe. Ahmed enjoyed studying Economics during college, scoring full marks in multiple module exams.

Ahmed now runs two self-employed businesses. The first is in events, organising a stand-up comedy night at tenured venue The Albany, host to comedy events since the 80s. He has hosted high-profile UK comics including the current Edinburgh Award winner – comedy’s biggest award globally. He also offers private pre-university Physics tuition, partnering a not-for-profit organisation benefiting disadvantaged students.

After placing in the top 5% of her undergraduate cohort, and earning a distinction in her Master’s degree, Luana’s doctoral research explored ethological decision making, through the use of an algorithm inspired by the human brain. Whilst at university, she also ran STEM outreach workshops with schoolchildren, to the end of encouraging more female students to pursue studies in such areas. She then spent several years working as a Full Stack App Developer, working primarily on web based apps, before joining us here at Tevent.

Luana also set up and ran a Code Club at the Archer Project, a charity where she helped vulnerable adults learn the basic principles of coding, whilst her academic work has been chosen for publication by The Royal Society.'

Tim is obsessed with coding with the SOLID principles, and is eager to spot design patterns. His love of lateral thinking in architecture and platform design, afford Tevent both scalability and speed. He’s selected Blazor as the cutting-edge technology of choice to power Tevent’s frontend, and a plethora of Azure services to power the backend, whilst his C# expertise allow him to work across the entire forward-thinking stack. Before Tevent, Tim worked for several years as tech lead, developing forensic video retrieval and processing solutions, before founding his own software company that he continues to oversee.

When not coding, or spending time with border collie Dexter, Tim is a keen cyclist who has cycled 1000 miles across Europe twice for charity.

A stand-out academic record evidences Mohja’s affinity for concepts data and detail. Linguistic flair and creativity have characterised successful pursuits, both academic and professional, whilst her commitment to volunteering projects, particularly Student Action For Refugees, has been commendable on similar grounds. She is a keen writer and arts enthusiast, having volunteered with BBH Labs and the annual Unsigned Exhibition whilst working as a Strategist in London, in addition to publishing work drafted independently.

Mohja is also active in outreach work, from tutoring and mentoring to fundraising, and has been a scholar as part of the Dick Camplin Education Trust for over three years, as well as a member of the Social Mobility Foundation since leaving secondary school.
