Hello, my name is Alex. I am a second-year undergraduate computer science student at the University of Birmingham and junior full-stack software engineer at cuby - a real estate technology startup.
I am learning about programming, software engineering and system administration - working most often with the C, C++ and Python languages. I am particularly interested in free & open-source software, Linux & Unix, self-hosting and Internet privacy & security; I enjoy discussing and learning about all of these subjects.

Some examples of my work are available on GitHub. I try to document novel concepts in writing and I have resultantly compiled a small software-oriented blog/documentation website, which you are equally welcome to look at. I am keeping my profile current on LinkedIn and I have also made a copy of my CV available for download, with some personal details omitted.
I should also mention that I use Arch Linux, Wayland, Tmux, Emacs and Neovim! Please additionally note that I do not use generative artificial intelligence tools in any capacity.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day!
