Professional Experience

Ten years of independent software development, shipping eight commercial titles under a self-managed studio. With over 3000 units sold, I effectively built a foundation in systems thinking, performance analysis, and deadline-constrained delivery. That background now directly informs a focused transition into cybersecurity: applying structured problem-solving to threat analysis, incident response, and secure system design. Currently pursuing a BSc (Hons) in Cyber Security at Mediterranean College (University of Derby), with hands-on experience in blue team operations, network security and ethical hacking.
