Professional Profile
Computer Science graduate with a 2:1 from Bangor University, working full time as a mechanic at Midlands Military Vehicles while continuing to freelance on web projects. I work across PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, MySQL and Laravel, and I've been building custom websites and tools for small businesses since 2022. More recently I've been working with machine learning, training a Naive Bayes spam classifier with heuristic scoring layers for a form protection API. My dissertation earned an honourable mention at a university tech showcase attended by industry representatives.
I'm practical, pick things up quickly and work well independently. Outside of code and vehicles I keep reptiles, currently an Ambilobe x Nosy Be chameleon, grow cacti and succulents, and game competitively. I'm planning a move to Portugal longer term.
