- Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office
- General Executive of MQCyberSec
Interested in cyber security (late to that party ik), self-hosting, Linux/UNIX, and Python. At uni I study cyber security, information systems, and business analysis, so ig I like the rest of those too. If you're around my institution come and say hi, I'll be helping MQCyberSec run their workshops once uni returns.
I am working on a few blog posts (and some other projects) at the moment, expect to see them here soon. Currently I'm getting into hosting stuff and (trying) to learn the basics of web development.
Outside of computing I listen to far too much music (83,670 minutes last year) and play video games (currently FF7 Rebirth). As for my other interests, I like learning about how things work (and breaking them), aesthetics (especially Y2K stuff), infrastructure, and long train rides.
