About Me

I'm a final-year Computer Science student at Lancaster University, with a focus on Cybersecurity and Networking. I enjoy turning problems into working software, and I'm especially interested in system security and networks.

Outside of coursework, I like to build my own projects and keep up with new developments in web development, AI and cybersecurity.

One weekend while I was organising my garage and labelling items with stickers, I realised I needed a proper inventory system. So using Python, I built a small program that lets you input items and quantities, then export the inventory to a CSV file.
