About me

A bit about me.

Hi, I'm Dylan! I'm in my third year studying Computer Science at Oxford Brookes University, and I'm especially interested in Data Science and Data Analysis.

How I got into programming

I've been into Computer Science since I was young. I started experimenting with HTML when I was about eight, just building things I found fun. I went on to study it at GCSE, A-Level and now university.

I like that programming is a bit like solving a complex puzzle. There's something really satisfying about figuring out how to make an idea work, then finally seeing it running.

Sometimes I build things because they're useful, but other times it's just because I think they're fun. I've even spent time playing around with Bogo Sort, which definitely falls into the second category.

Why data?

I find it satisfying to notice patterns in data and explain what I've found to other people. I also genuinely enjoy writing SQL queries. I'm particularly interested in finding ways to apply these skills to real problems.

I've worked with computer vision, real-time video processing, debugging and testing, and I'm developing my data analysis and machine learning skills as we speak.

Outside university

I'm into video games, keeping up with new technology, and making music, which I've been doing since 2018.
