Gaming & PC Building
In my free time, I enjoy playing games online with friends. It keeps us connected and helps me focus, communicate clearly, and make quick decisions when we're working toward the same goal.
I'm interested in computers and have experience building and upgrading PCs—choosing parts that fit a budget and putting the components together. I find it fun and challenging, and it's improved my problem‑solving and troubleshooting.
I also run this website on a Raspberry Pi at home. It's a small, low‑power computer I use to host this site, set up a personal NAS for files, and run Pi‑hole as a network‑wide ad blocker to cut down on distractions and speed things up. Working with the Pi has helped me learn the basics of networking and keeping things running.
Tennis
I've played tennis form a young age, and it's taught me focus, discipline, and patience as well as how to handle pressure. Playing doubles and team matches helped me communicate and support my teammates.This helped me achieve a Dorset Cup win with my team.
Technologies I Use
Here are some of the technologies and tools I work with:
My Development Journey
During my time at college and through personal projects, I've developed a solid foundation in web development. I regularly work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which are essential for creating websites that are both functional and visually appealing. I'm also familiar with platforms like WordPress and Shopify, enabling me to work on sites that need frequent updates or focus on online selling.
For backend tasks, I use PHP and Python to handle things like data management and adding new features to websites. Tools like Docker help me to gain an understanding of networking as well as helping me create an organised and secure network. I'm comfortable working with Linux and managing server setups as well, which is useful for launching sites and troubleshooting any issues.
With these skills, I'm able to deliver websites and web applications that work reliably and make a practical difference for individuals and businesses.
