Curently and for the next 4 year im going to be studying a Bachelor of Engineering with Honours at UC. For the last 5 years I've been studying at Roncalli College in Timaru.

Hobbies

In terms of Hobbies I find learning and improving on new skills quite fun. Some of the skills I have learnt and am currently learning are listed further down.
and when im not learning new skills I like to be playing video games or driving.
I find driving arround quite excitiing and one day hope to have every class of Licence available in New Zealand, so far I have class 1(car) and 6(motorbike) Licences.

Computer Science and Electronics

I know how to make games and websites with HTML, CSS and Javascript, and I plan on learning how to make games with Unreal Engine. I also know how to code in some very basic Python. Previously I've made some projects using an Arduino Uno's and an Esp32's and I will continue to make Arduino projects in my spare time. If you would like to see any of my projects head over to my Projects Page.

Photography and Videography

A few years ago I started to experiment with taking Photos. I started on my phone camera and now I have a Canon R50 with the basic kit lens.
I love taking mainly landscape and nature photos, recently I bought a drone and wish to get into areial photography and a bit of videography.
I've also recently started to post the photos that I take on my Photography website which you can find here.

Home-Lab

I have a small home-lab setup in my parents garage with a 2 computers runing as servers. One of the servers is running as a Proxmox server and the other as a TrueNAS server. These both have variuos virtual machines and containers runing on them for different purposes. If you would like to know more about my home-lab setup you can read all about it here.
