A bit about me

I am originally from Hong Kong and I moved to the UK in 2019 at the age of 16 for my sixth-form education. Currently I am studying at Lancaster University and am a final year student with the intention of finding a tech job in the UK. I am interested in all things tech related and currently I am most curious about the world of cyber-security and am currently doing the Jr Pentesting pathway on tryhackme. I enjoy creating and programming things that people are able to use in different settings. Using cutting-edge technologies and open-source software I am able to develop projects and build user-friendly tools and applications. Here is a run-down on all the technologies that I have used and still use curently. However, my tech-stack is ever expanding and I am willing to learn any technology to accomplish a goal.
