About me
Hi, I'm Adam, an undergraduate student on the Isle of Man!
Currently a student at University College Isle of Man, studying a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science.
In the past, I studied GCSEs and IGCSEs accross a variety of STEM subjects, as well as A Levels in Mathematics and Computer Science. I have also undertaken a number of extra-curricular certifications across professional products, such as Microsoft Office
Out of university, I currently volunteer at the Isle of Man Code Club, where I am the official Assets Manager. This role required me to organise and categorise our large range of objects. I am also a barista at a local branch of the Costa Coffee chain.
