Second-year student · University of Portsmouth
Cyber Security & Forensic Computing
I like getting hands-on with systems and working out why something isn't behaving as expected. Most of what you'll find here comes from university labs, coursework and a Proxmox setup I've been building at home.
SELECTED WORK
Selected projects from university and the things I've worked on outside lectures.
A small Proxmox lab I set up to practise virtualisation, networking and monitoring.
Conceptual relationships. No private addresses or live topology.
Examining Windows Registry artefacts from a forensic image in a university lab.
Web-security and packet-analysis exercises in authorised teaching environments.
A practical form-to-spreadsheet workflow for an electrical services website.
Site structure and customer-facing design for an electrical services business.
Virtual networking, routing and Windows Server services in university coursework.
Small Python, Dart and C# assignments from college and university.
ABOUT
I'm in my second year at Portsmouth, studying Cyber Security & Forensic Computing. I particularly enjoy the networking and forensics labs, because I get to investigate practical problems.
At home I've been setting up a small Proxmox lab on a refurbished mini PC. It's given me plenty to troubleshoot, particularly around firewall rules and getting separate networks to communicate only when they should.
I'm interested in placements, internships and junior opportunities where I can keep learning and contribute to real projects.
SKILLS
These are tools I've actually used, mainly in labs and coursework. I'm still learning my way around some of them.

Alongside my studies, I've worked in a warehouse and helped with electrical work under supervision.
Learnt the warehouse workstation and stock-location system, scanned and labelled items, picked orders for dispatch and followed the site's safety procedures.
Assisted under supervision with tools, cable runs and fitting preparation. It taught me to pay attention to instructions and check the details.
