Institutional Backing

Backed by the North East Combined Authority

Leadership & Community

Founding Treasurer — Northumbria Marketing Society

Excited to be one of the founding members of Northumbria University's first ever Marketing Society, serving as Treasurer. Three of us came together this year to build something that didn't exist before — a community for marketing students at Northumbria to connect, learn, and grow together.

In September 2026 the society hosted a stall at the Freshers Fair and ran induction talks to welcome new students.

Founding committee: Tom Jeffries (President) · Jan Tomas (Secretary) · Maruf Miah (Treasurer)

Professional AI Experience

Building AI at Baker Hughes — A Global Energy Company

AIgnite isn't built by someone who has only read about AI. It's built by someone using enterprise AI tools every day, professionally, at one of the world's largest energy technology companies — operating in 120+ countries.

As a Purchasing Intern on the Baker Hughes Emerging Talent Programme, the tools being used daily include Microsoft Copilot, Power Automate and Power BI — to reduce procurement lead times, automate manual processes and deliver real supply chain efficiency.

Professional AI Project

AI-Assisted NCR Recommendation MVP — Baker Hughes

Developed an AI-assisted NCR recommendation MVP at Baker Hughes using Excel, Power Query, Copilot prompt engineering, and Power Automate. The solution connects NCRs with PO and delivery data to identify risk, recommend the next action, assign the right owner, and generate a suggested message. The MVP has been shared internally, with the next phase focused on user testing and improving recommendation quality.

Due to confidentiality and internal business data requirements, I'm unable to share the actual NCR data or generated outputs publicly, but I've included a high-level view of the solution architecture.
