> *Founder. Team Leader. Engineer. Building things that compete on a world stage.*

I'm **Kayan Shah** - a student engineer and programmer based in London. I build software and hardware that makes a real-world impact: from Python tools and Swift apps, to **international electric cars and world-championship winning robots**. Currently leading teams heading just back from the **VEX World Championships 2026**, fresh from the **Greenpower International Finals 2025**.
