Who am I?

UG Mathematician | Athlete | Programmer

Queen Mary's University of London | UK Shaolin Center

I'll Keep it short for you, I'm a second year Mathematics student at Queen Mary University of London with a genuine passion for everything Mathematics, Puzzles and Sports. I am currently looking to kickstart my career as my time at university is almost at an end! This website is simply a \(fancy\) CV, and I hope it shows off what makes me a special and unique person.

Fun Facts

Hobbies

I am a national Kickboxer, play for QMRFC 1st XV, London Scottish Lions and fight in Muay Thai.

I also play the guitar; my favourite type of music right now is probably alt-rock (favourite band is The Smiths).

I'm an avid programmer, self taught since post-A levels due to my degree. For example I have taught myself web development and C. I hope to keep developing a large portfolio, especially in the cyber security and mathematical world.

About Me

Sports | Mathematics | Coding | Music | Games | Reading | Business

I'm really open to explore different types of work in different industries, I just want to learn and develop academically and professionally. As of recently, the idea of research interests me. If I'm able to do well enough In my degree, its certainly an option.

I try to stay active and fit all time throughout the year. This can, as we all know, be tricky, especially as I have to start doing adult things like laundry. But, at the end of the day, I value health and hope to continuously improve mine forever. I aspire to become at least a semi-pro fighter some day and maybe even give rugby a go, as I've picked it up recently and thoroughly enjoy it.

Charity Work

I have done a small amount of work for charity and volunteering in general. Take the below two examples,

African Adventures - Kenya

Volunteering | Fundraising | Building | Fostering | Teaching

African Adventures

New Forest Marathon Volunteer

Volunteering | Stall work

New Forest Marathon

Curriculum Vitae

Download my general CV to see a more condensed list of my skills and aspirations. I'm always open to different career paths that I had maybe not considered before. If you have an idea of where I might fit in, send me an email or message!

In doing a Mathematics degree I've developed strong foundations in problem solving and logic. My interests within Mathematics lie mainly within Number Theory and maybe pure maths in general (as of 2nd year maths).

I am actually considering Mathematical research. I have grown to really love the subject and would maybe like to contribute to the field. If you have any connections to research I'd love to know! The best way to contact me is at my Email.

My Coding Skills

My most notable programming languages are shown below.

HTML
10%

Skills are shown [hopefully] through this website. In this part, I refer to my web-development skills in general.

C++
10%

Through programming a lot with C# I gained a high-level understanding of C languages. I did demo code with the famous spinning doughnut.

C#
25%

During my A-levels, I used C# entirely. I coded many different small projects and also coded Chess in WinForms, with a full and proper GUI.

Python
30%

Python is my strongest language. Its super easy to code in and full of libraries. My most notable projects probably include my Trading algorithm and my Cyber security tools.

Java
25%

I am similarly experience with Java compared with C#. I have not created any notable projects with Java though I intend to create something soon.

I would like to start coding again with C# and get good with C++, as In a purley programming sense, I would like to get good at optimising and creating fast code. For example, my Python trading algorithm runs slow due to the forecast function, which is a few nested loops, a problem much less evident if I use a highly efficient language.

Portfolio

Python | Web Dev | Java | Git | Modelling

I've been spending time during university developing a series of coding projects which I hope impress you. I have not nearly made enough progress to be proud of what I have yet achieved, though for some of my code, you can view them below.

Do not be worried by the scarcity of code projects, I intend to develop much more, as described in the 'Future' section.

So, Whats Next for Me?

I have so much planned for the future, and I wish to share my goals with everyone. Here I will talk about necessities, aspirations and ideas. These, I'm sure, are certain to change over time, as some doors close and others open, for below contains some general idea and direction of where I want to go.

2024 - 2025

  • 1. Finish 2nd Year Mathematics at QMUL with good grades and start 3rd year,
  • 2. Develop 2 Cyber security tools to assist in bug bounty programmes,
  • 3. Work on my health. Get into good shape, take up running longer distances at around half marathons,
  • 4. Try to secure an Internship for the summer before the commence of 3rd year.

2025 - 2026

  • 1. Intensely study - achieve a 1st class degree with honours in mathematics, likely to specialise in Pure Mathematics,
  • 2. Consider options, apply, or return to a job, likely in tech or finance, or continue to study as a PG,
  • 3. Ramp up sporting activities, start to compete again.

2026 - 2027

  • 1. Start a business in somewhere in Tech,
  • 2. Consider moving into the Semi-Pro fighting scene,
  • 3. Consider real Mathematical research,
  • 4. Consider the Army as a real job, try out to be an Intelligence officer.
