About Me

Heyo! I'm J or _whitetxt on the internet, and I do software dev.

I am primarily a back-end dev but I have been known to dabble in some front-end stuff from time to time. I've been writing software for around 7 years, and enjoy it a lot.

I use Python as my main language, but I also have experience using C#lang, JavaScript#lang, PHP#lang and Flutter#lang.

In addition to these, I have lots of experience using LaTeX#lang to typeset and format documents, creating multiple large documents using it.

Currently I am doing my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at University of Staffordshire London, on track for a first class degree!

Experience

I worked for Amazon for 3 months over the summer of 2025, developing a CI/CD solution to reduce on-call engineer time.
This reduced investigations by up to 70%, saving over 40 hours a month of on-call engineer time.
The project was developed in Python#lang, using packages such as NumPy and Scipy to perform data analysis.
The project was documented throughout development, to ensure the team could continue to use and maintain it after I left.

I have participated in the CyberCenturion, a cyber security competition in which competitors must audit multiple different Unix systems to find and solve security vulnerabilites, a few times. In the last competition I participated in, CyberCenturion IX, the team I led came 5th in the UK.

I have worked as part of a team with punch#comp to create a Metaverse area for them inside of Decentraland. I acted as the lead developer, with my other team members working on the graphic design and 3D modelling required for the project.

I have previously worked with flyLAT, where I designed a front-end for their application using PHP#lang, JavaScript#lang and TailwindCSS#lang.

I've also created a virtual money system to compensate students who help out with my University's news system. This used PHP#lang, TailwindCSS#lang and JavaScript#lang, and used a bunch of new concepts to allow for contactless spending of their money via QR codes.

University

As previously mentioned, I'm studying for a BSc in Computer Science, well into my third year at this point and I'm still keeping up with the high grades.

I've also been doing some broadcast stuff at the Uni, helping to run events and streams to much success :D
