My portfolio, built from scratch with Astro. Bilingual, accessible, and free of unnecessary libraries. It is the first project I have built end to end, and where everything else will be published.
About me
I'm 22, and I've hit the point in my degree where you realise that passing exams and knowing how to build software are not quite the same thing.
So I started on my own: build small things, break them, work out why they broke, and write down what I learn. This site is the first of those things.
Outside of that: I love arcade games, and I'm obsessed with the evolution of the tech world from one decade to the next, especially the jump from the 90s to the 2000s.

Storm: a Three.js experiment
A 9,000-particle sphere with hand-written shaders that breathes, spins, and reacts to the cursor and scroll. Lives on its own page, outside the main site.
Blog
Here I write about programming, coursework and what it's actually like being a student: university life, student stuff, trial and error, what works and what doesn't.
