About Me
I am currently studying Computer Science in Trinity College Dublin in the class of 2027. As a part of my studies, I do a lot of work using Java and C and am learning to use them in a wide area of applications. I also do a lot of work with ARM Assembly and VHDL to understand hardware at a low level, this is a part of my course I'm especially passionate about. Alongside my college course, I enjoy creating apps using the Swift Programming Language and making websites with modern tools such as React and CSS tailwind.
While in secondary school, I also taught myself Python, which I now use to learn about and build Neural Networks .
I really enjoy learning new things and aquiring new skills. I spend a lot of my free time playing Ultimate Frisbee with my local team and working on vintage cars such as my MG Midget and Morris Minor 1000.

PhishingBoat
Phishing is a type of cyberattack which aims to collect sensitive information from individuals by masking as a trusted source, such as a friend or trusted website. PhishingBoat was a project created alongside a classmate at KTH with the goal of improving upon traditional methods of phishing website detection using machine learning methods. The program would run a classification model on a website, and if it thought it was phishing, it would warn the user. We experimented with Random Forest Classification, Multi-layer Perceptrons and Transformer Models. In the end our program achieved an accuracy of 94% on test data and performed as expected with edge cases in the real world. The project receieved top marks in our AI project course. From this I gained valuable skills in collaboration with complex project as well as experience working with a research project.
