Havox & me

About Me

I am a Computer Science graduate from the University of Nottingham, with a degree awarded in August 2022. I joined FDM as a Java Software Developer in June 2023, and since then I have been enhancing my skills in various technologies and frameworks. Some of the skills I have learnt at FDM are: creating REST APIs using the Java Spring Framework, using postman api, JUnit and Mockito to test them, whilst using H2, JDBC and MySQL to persist data.

These skills complement my previous academic experience in areas such as: Android Development, Distributed Systems, Game Development, Malware Analysis, Data Visualisation, Graphics, Security, Cryptography, Databases, Algorithms and Efficiency.

I am passionate about learning new things and applying them to real-world problems. I am looking for opportunities to further develop my career as a software engineer and contribute to innovative projects.

About Havox

Havox is a website I have been using to host my projects and tutorials since 2017. Back then a friend introduced me to the concept of a VPS, using a debain box to run an nginx web server. Several years later not much has changed (apart from the server, domain and design - all several times).

When I first started learning to code, I took inspiration from The Coding Train and found an interest in visualising algorithms. This was much more interesting than seeing a console output.

2023-Present

Here havox morphed into more of a portfolio rather than a fun side project. Now fully taking advantage of Scss, considering mobile view-widths and general UI design.

My first project using Scss! Also the first website to be hosted on my own hardware - this allowed me to upload far more projects.

2017-2019

My first website! The whole website was stored in one php file🤣 However I did have a quote of the day feature using python script scheduled by a cronjob using php to dynamically display the quote.
