What am I up to at the moment?
Currently, I am:
- Living between Birmingham and Portsmouth (term-time)
- Trying to spend as much time as possible outside and travelling; check out my visited stations, RailMiles, and OpenFlights profile
- Keeping active by walking and hiking; see where I've been on Strava
- Babysitting my homelab, and always researching new equipment and trends to study and learn about
- Taking too many photos, and trying not to buy too many cheap / interesting old digital cameras
- Continuing to study for my degree, currently in my second year
- Helping to run the Computer Networking Society at university, organising events, socials, and workshops
- Looking for a work placement for 2025/2026, doing something hands-on in IT
