About Me
I'm a multilingual Computer Science (Cyber Security) postgraduate student based in Bracknell, UK, building a career at the intersection of software development, cybersecurity, and practical problem-solving. What drives me most is creating things that are genuinely useful — whether that is a well-built app, a clear technical solution, or research that helps people navigate a real-world problem more safely.
A big part of who I am comes from how I grew up. My parents moved a lot across different countries to give my brother and me the best opportunities they could, and that shaped me deeply. It taught me how to adapt quickly, stay grounded in unfamiliar environments, and connect with people from different backgrounds. It also helped me become fluent in English, Spanish, Hungarian, and Romanian, which has been a huge strength both personally and professionally.
My Story
Education
My academic path did not begin in computer science, which is part of what makes my journey meaningful. I first completed a BA in Biblical & Pastoral Studies at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (2022). That degree gave me a strong foundation in structured thinking, communication, ethics, and working with people — skills that still shape how I approach technology today.
I later moved into computing and I am currently completing an MSc in Computer Science with Cyber Security (online) at the University of York (2024–2026). Through the MSc, I have studied modules across algorithms, advanced programming, AI/ML, software engineering, networks, computer architecture, and security. What stood out to me most is how these areas connect: software is not just code, but systems, people, data, risk, and design decisions all working together.
Cybersecurity became a natural focus because it combines technical depth with real human impact. I am especially drawn to problems where trust, safety, and technology meet.
Transition into Tech
My transition into tech was not a straight line, but it has been a very intentional one. Before moving into computing, I worked in student-facing and business-focused roles (including roles at EF Education First and Hult EF Corporate Learning), as well as private-hire driving. Those roles taught me a lot about communication, responsibility, operations, and staying calm under pressure — all of which have carried over into my technical work.
The turning point was realising I wanted to build things, not just support them. I became more serious about programming, started building projects, and began treating my learning like a long-term career transition rather than a casual interest. Since then, I've been building a portfolio of projects (web apps and practical tools), studying consistently, and developing the technical depth needed to move into software and cybersecurity roles with confidence.
What makes my transition valuable is that I bring more than technical training alone — I bring adaptability, customer-facing experience, and a strong sense of how technology needs to work for real people.
Current Focus
Right now, my main focus is finishing my MSc in Computer Science with Cyber Security and continuing to strengthen my portfolio for a long-term career in tech. I am working on both taught modules and independent project work, while also building practical coding projects that demonstrate my skills in a way employers can clearly see.
A major part of my current work is my Independent Research Project (capstone), where I am focusing on audio deepfake detection. This area is especially meaningful to me because it combines cybersecurity, machine learning, and audio-related analysis in a way that is both technically challenging and highly relevant.
Alongside my MSc, I'm also continuing to improve my development workflow and portfolio quality through hands-on projects, structured learning, and certifications. My goal is to position myself as someone who can contribute across software development, cybersecurity thinking, and research-informed problem solving — and to keep growing from there.
