welcome

Hi! My names Joe, I am a Computer Science (CS) student with a background in marine engineering and a few creative hobbies and passions! This website is aimed at being a portfolio of some of the things i get upto, this website itself is supposed to be a part of that portfolio, all the code is written by me, or grabbed off somewhere on the internet, I'll be sure to credit anything major of course.

I am writing this website by myself as a tool for learning, learning is basically the root of all my passions, curiosity drives me as a person, and it draws me to others that are like minded. If you can offer me an opportunity to learn you'll have made an asset and a friend.

In terms of CS i flourish most with interactive software, computer graphics are fascinating to me, and the heavy maths brings a welcome complexity and challenge. As of writting this I am still a novice, and i am keeping my mind open to all possibities. I currently have a good grasp on python and java, with a couple C# projects under my belt, and now a bit of HTML/CSS, and you will probably notice around the web page if i have any fun with javascript.

I have always had a creative streak in me from a young age and i think it complements my technical side, problem solving to me is a creative process, and a strong imagination is vital. Different mediums bring new challenges and i have played with a fair few, i used to be an avid doodler in my young age, and did a couple paintings im proud of. Jewellery was an interest fo mine for a while before i considered making it, and then i gave it a go, and i have enjoyed it ever since (apart from when it melts into nothing). Most of what i do is for loved ones, but i may open up to the idea of doing it as a buisness.

I dont host this website locally but run it on a server i rent space on, maybe some day ill get a public IP.
