Currently running bsc --degree=cybersecurity at Birmingham City University — where I spend a healthy amount of time breaking things legally, fixing them properly, and occasionally staring at error messages like they've personally offended me. Through coursework and hands-on projects I've built solid skills in Python, Linux, networking, and ethical hacking, with a focus on solving real-world problems in a field that genuinely refuses to sit still.
Alongside the degree, I'm Course Rep for Cyber Security and a Visiting Demonstrator — helping staff and students navigate the same organised chaos I voluntarily enrolled in. I'm also Vice President for Cyber at the BCU Student Computing Association (BCUSCA), where I run events, push practical learning, and try to build opportunities that actually feel useful — not just good on paper.
