Introduction

I am a student with a strong interest in many areas of IT such as security, networking and operating systems. I have had an interest in programming since around 2013, when I started learning Python.
Since then I have developed many applications as a hobby and for school.
I have a strong interest in creating high quality and secure user experiences, as demonstrated in my website which I built from the ground up.

I am now in the 1^st year of Cyber Security and Forensics at Napier University.
