About

I'm a second-year Computing Technologies student at Ulster University in Belfast.

Most of what I know I've learned by building real things for real people. I build and maintain the website for a small internet radio station in Newry, made for older listeners who aren't confident with technology. I also built a Flask app the presenter uses on air to take song requests.

I've worked part-time alongside my studies since 2021, in warehouses, kitchens and on a production line. That work taught me to stay calm when things break and to finish the job properly.

Projects

Also

Car Dealership Website

First-year group coursework (COM109). I built the Finance and About Us pages, including a finance estimate with JavaScript validation.

A group website for Ulster University's Client Side Development module, 2025/26. My pages were Finance and About Us: a finance estimate from car price, deposit and term, with jQuery input validation and dynamic results. I tested it with valid and invalid inputs and made final improvements to the shared validation and CSS. The rest of the site was group work.
