My name is Michael! I'm from the UK and I'm currently completing my Year in Industry in cyber security at National Highways, helping to protect the nation's critical infrastructure and strategic road network.
After my Year in Industry, I will be returning to full-time education at Royal Holloway, University of London, to finish my last year of my Integrated Master's Degree in Computer Science. I also have worked for several years in the IT Support sector and I am certified as an Infrastructure Technician.
My primary interests are in operating systems, TCP/IP networking, all things information security (cryptography, cyber security, etc) and more recently, quantum computing! I only joined GitHub in 2024, but I have been programming since 2016.
As of December 2025, I am currently focused on:
- 🛣️ Completing my Cyber Security Year in Industry at National Highways
- 📚 Obtaining Microsoft AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals & SC-900 Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals
I also spend a lot of time developing my interpreted programming language called Volq, which is easy to use to simulate quantum computing algorithms. Although I've put that on pause for the moment to focus on studying for certificates!
While I'm less active on GitHub right now, I still have plenty of ideas I'm looking forward to putting into code in the future!
