About

Hey, I'm Alex 👋

I'm just a Computer Systems Engineering student in my final year at Queen Mary University of London. This might not be the flashiest portfolio site, but it's built with Markdown and Nextra (opens in a new tab), so I can quickly add content and spend more time on my other cool projects (backend focused). I don't suck at frontend though, I'd just rather not. You can find some of my React work on my GitHub (opens in a new tab) for a fancier look.

About Me

I like Linux (yeah, I use Arch btw 😄), and I'm a big fan of coding in NeoVim. Learning new stuff in Software Engineering is just fun.

Languages I Use

I dabble in a bunch of programming languages, like:

• Go (This language is probably my favourite)
• Rust (Currently fighting the borrow checker)
• Haskell (why -> are -> functions -> like -> this)
• JavaScript & TypeScript (React and Node.js, if I have to)
• C (Also great)
• Python
• Java (OOP is ok)
• SQL (Postgres, MySQL, SQLite)
• HTML (Is this even a programming language?)
• CSS (I have much better things to do with my life than styling a box)
• VHDL
• Assembly

Other stuff

I've got some experience with these handy tools and tech:

• Docker
• Git
• GitHub Actions
• AWS (Cloud Practioner)

Why I do what I do

I'm all about learning different programming languages to understand the game at every level. Rust has my attention so I can tell people I code in Rust, and I'm diving into Haskell because functional programming is interesting and I'm doing my final year project in Haskell.

Thanks for checking out my portfolio. If you're up for some cool collaborations or just want to chat tech, feel free to reach out!
