MSci Computer Science | Aspiring Cybersecurity Professional | ex-Cisco

About

I'm pursuing an MSci in Computer Science at Royal Holloway, University of London, with a strong focus on cybersecurity. My academic foundation spans Computer Science, Physics, and Mathematics at A-Level, giving me a solid analytical base for tackling complex security challenges.

I hold certifications in web application security (OWASP), containerisation (Docker), and critical infrastructure protection (CIP). During work experience at Cisco, I built data visualisation tools integrating the Jenkins API -- parsing JSON responses and rendering multiple graph types with filtering capabilities.

Beyond academics, I actively contribute as a tutor and mentor, having taught GCSE Computer Science and Mathematics, led A-Level teaching sessions, and organised student-led community initiatives abroad.
