At this stage of my life, I was introduced to the captivating world of digital games. From the puzzle widget on Windows XP, testing my ingenuity, to the exhilarating 3D Brawlers on the Nintendo Wii, I was drawn to explore every genre. With the assistance of my father and online resources, I successfully modified my Wii console to accommodate SD-cards formatted with the WBFS manager, granting me the freedom to indulge in any game ROM I desired, without the need of a physical copy.

During this period, I developed a profound interest in technology and its vast potential. I wholeheartedly delved into the realm of technology, mastering its intricacies and becoming a proficient user. My focus on customization proved paramount in satisfying my unique needs. An instance of this was my family's Windows XP PC, which I meticulously optimized and enhanced with powerful tools like the Tweak UI PowerToy.

I began programming as a hobby throughout my primary school years. Beginning with block-based programming on Scratch 1.4 & 2.0, I discovered a passion for exploring my creativity and developing enchanting programs, including games such as Pac-Man. As my skills progressed, I delved into the realm of text-based programming with Python, immersing myself, learning from professionals, and occasionally contributing myself.

Intrigued by Poor site design, I decided to look into web technologies to try and gain an understanding of sites like this one. As a result, I taught myself many more languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, SQL, HTML, CSS, etc., while also learning how to use technologies like Node.js, Electron, React and jQuery. I also began publishing my code on GitHub and collaborating with people on various projects.

I knew I wanted to work in this profession long before I started studying for my first national exams. As a result, the main subjects I chose were Computer Science and Triple Science (also known as single science or separate sciences). My certificates can be found in the portfolio above.

Continuing with obtaining national qualifications, I took three A-level subjects; Computer-Science, Mathematics and Physics. My certificates can be found in the portfolio above.

I chose to study software engineering at Royal Holloway, University of London. This programme involves a placement year in industry. I am still progressing through the four-year programme.
