01 // ABOUT ME

A Bit About Me

Growing up, I've always been into technology, mechanics, electrics, and computers. Whether it was taking things apart to see how they worked, building PCs, or fixing things up, I've always preferred learning by actually getting my hands dirty.

Before starting uni, I worked as an Apprentice Technician at Car Cosmetics, where I got proper hands-on experience working on cars — doing mechanical repairs, servicing, bleeding brakes, and tracking down electrical faults.

I'm 21 and living in Preston, doing my Foundation Year in Electrical Engineering at the University of Lancashire (ULan) alongside working as a Bar Team Leader at Wetherspoons (The Velvet Coaster in Blackpool & The Twelve Tellers in Preston). Outside of uni and work, I'm usually working on cars, tinkering with electronics, or tinkering with software and games.

// FIELD NOTES

"I've always learned best by getting hands-on — whether that's working on a car, wiring something up, or building it on a PC."
