I am a final-year Computer Science student at the University of Edinburgh, set to graduate in May. I'm interested in software engineering, networks, cyber security, and operating systems, and I enjoy working on embedded systems and hardware-related projects.

Outside of my studies, I like working on ESP32 and 3D printing projects, combining software and hardware to create functional prototypes. I have experience building IoT devices, designing PCBs, and integrating microcontrollers into my smart home system.

I am currently looking for a software engineering or similar, graduate role.
