BSc CS (Cyber Security) · First Class Honours · Open to opportunities
Curious
about security.
Serious about shipping.
I'm a First Class Honours Computer Science (Cyber Security) graduate from the University of Kent, class of 2026. I build things — a biometric authentication platform for my dissertation, NLP research tooling, a Minecraft inventory mod in Java. Actively looking for my first role in cyber security or software development.

the personA bit about me
First Class Honours Computer Science (Cyber Security) graduate from the University of Kent, class of 2026. My dissertation was FaceLock — a tri-layer biometric authentication platform combining face recognition, mouse behavioural biometrics, and keystroke dynamics, running entirely on-device. I enjoy figuring out how systems break and building things that handle it properly.
Outside of tech: football, rugby, 3D printing and CAD design, vehicle maintenance. I like understanding how things work at a low level — whether that's an OS lock API or a timing belt.
I've worked at Sainsbury's since 2022 alongside full-time study — nearly four years of cash handling, stock compliance, multidepartment cover, and keeping things accurate under real operational pressure. It's not glamorous, but sustaining that alongside a degree while consistently hitting deadlines taught me more about reliability and self-management than most things would.
What I'm looking for
First Class Honours graduate, actively job hunting. I'm looking for a graduate role in cyber security or software development — AppSec, secure dev, SOC, or software engineering where security matters. Based in Kent, targeting London and southeast England, open to hybrid or remote. I bring a strong technical foundation, real project delivery, and the work ethic to back it up — I care more about doing good work than the job title.
