I’ve recently graduated with a Bachelor of Computer Science at the
University of Queensland, majoring in Cyber Security, having previously
studied towards an Electrical & Computer Engineering degree, also at UQ.

I take pride in ensuring that information is correct, complete and
comprehensible, both as an inherent virtue and to empower everyone to
make good decisions.
