Summary

I love creating websites and I get excited about diving into new technologies. I am currently in my final year of studying Cybersecurity Bsc (Hons) at University College Isle of Man. My aim is to enhance my IT skills to enter the field at an advanced level. I am well organised, self-motivated and my IT skills extend into my hobbies, which includes building websites and physically constructing electronic apparatus.

Projects

Automated NOAA/Meteor satellite ground station

Utilising Software Defined Radios and two pieces of metal hanging off of the side of the roof, this project works alongside the weather station for capturing satellite imagery of the island, Europe and slightly beyond for detecting weather patterns and potential rain/cloud movements.

Currently, this is just going to be used for showcasing the satellite imagery captured, with future plans on implementing machine learning for automated, hopefully accurate weather predictions for the island.

NOAA 18

Weather Station Powered by Raspberry Pi

A live weather station powered by a Raspberry Pi that I work on passionately in my free time. I can monitor the weather from a self-hosted website which has been recorded by a myriad of instruments. The physical weather station is written in Python, and it is connected to a website via a virtual private server running a NodeJS application.

As a part of my on-going dissertation at the University of Chester, I am working on implementing secure long-range wireless communications into the mix to allow for off-grid weather monitoring over a range of areas across the island.

Some technologies I learnt to make this work:

SvelteKit, Redis, Socket.io, ExpressJS, MongoDB, Leaflet

British Overseas Territories Information Site

An interactive educational website featuring a clickable map showcasing the wonders of the 14 Overseas Territories and their significance in the modern world.

Hobbies & Interests

    I enjoy learning about history, specifically war and conflicts such as the World Wars and American War of Independence. After living in Gibraltar for a few years, I was surrounded by interesting history from the Great Siege and other key conflicts/battles on a daily basis, which I still enjoy learning about immensely.

    In my spare time, I also enjoy playing video games, specifically strategy games such as Hearts of Iron IV and Civilization VI.

    I also enjoy constructing electronic apparatus using single board computers such as the Raspberry Pi to create my own home automation systems.
