Projects
A mining-valuation tool, an incorporated creative studio, and a couple of student-led ventures.
Calc-a-Mine
A mining-valuation suite: three valuation models in the browser, each with field guidance, live calculations and Excel export. Built on the modelling methods from my ACA training — DCF, CAPM and sensitivity analysis.
DCF & Monte Carlo — full discounted-cash-flow model for producing and development-stage ventures, with probabilistic sensitivity across 5,000 simulated scenarios, IRR/NPV/payback, and a tornado chart.
Early-Stage Exploration — cost-approach (Kilburn method) valuation aligned to the VALMIN framework.
Operational Asset — depreciated replacement cost for plants, fleets and infrastructure.
Brainrot Limited
An incorporated creative studio making short-form video for YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. I set it up to learn the creator economy first-hand — building channels from scratch and seeing what works.
The toolset is lean: Premiere Pro and Photoshop for editing and design, plus AI workflows for research, scripting and automation.
Durham Trashion
Co-founded Durham University's first sustainable fashion exhibition. It raised £3,900 for Enactus Durham across seven events, earned three media features and a £500 Social Impact Fund grant, and is still running four years on.
DUCK Nepal Expedition
Organised and led a team of eight students on a volunteering programme in rural Nepal, fundraising £7,000 through a series of events — including a solo sponsored stairmaster challenge (#FernoUpEverest), climbing the equivalent height of Everest (44,421 steps) and raising over £700 alone.
Completed community projects including English teaching at Jyoti School, greenhouse construction in the Gandaki foothills, and refurbishment of Shree Lila Basic School.
