About Me
Hobbies
I have many MANY hobbies varying in lots of different areas. My friends may say that I have something new going on every month if you asked them!
Beatboxing
I have been beatboxing since I was 14, I am fully self-taught, and whilst I haven't and still don't currently intend to do it professionally, I am always practicing and aiming to improve. It's addictive and forms a core part of me. I would love to take some music theory lessons and rhythm lessons officially, but YouTube has been my teacher since I started.

Shuffling
I started shuffling at 15 years old, and never took any lessons for it. One day myself and a friend decided to learn some moves for prom, and every year or so I have a big burst of motivation to learn new moves. I dance around in my flat if I'm listening to any house, and I performed at my cousin's wedding in summer 2024, and another summer 2025!
Sim-Drifting/Racing
I have been sim drifiting and racing since 2021. I am much more of a drifter, and as a kid always wanted to drift in person. Buying the proper equipment and using the right simulator to practice was the next step to achieving that dream. Now I am working full-time, it will soon become a reality.
Knife-Making/Sharpening
One I picked up over the summer of 2024. The picture is of a rock I made into a knife on the beach in Wales. I polished it up at home. It cut through paper once, then it chipped. 10 hours of work went into this stone- I suddenly remembered why we don't make knives out of stone.
3D Printing
Myself and a friend decided to get the train to Nottingham to buy a Prusa Mini for some summer projects in 2023. We went on the train and walked with the 3D Printer and various accessories through a heavy rainstorm. It has been my obsession ever since, fuelling many of my projects and is still accelerating my growth as an engineer today.
Building PCs
I became interested in computers when I was 9, watching Linus Tech Tips on YouTube. 10+ years later I still watch him, and regularly build PCs for family and friends. Between 2020-2022 I started a small business from home, where I would consult and build for clients. Since I knew the market well and for such a long time, my knowlege became very useful with a rapidly-changing electronics market coming out of lockdown.
Electronic Repairs
Buying my first soldering iron and multi-bit precision screwdriver set at 15, I set out to repair my broken electronics to save money, eventually doing work for clients, friends and family, and expanding to a few microsoldering jobs using a heat gun and layered magnifying lenses. With some more space, I would love to expand my skills and pick up a microscope, to fix motherboards and bent CPU pins.
