20 year old, second year Computer Science student based in Bristol.
Hi! My name is Jago. I’m a computer science student from Cornwall, based in Bristol, currently studying at the University of the West of England, interested in all things software development.
Currently I am researching into all different areas that my degree has to offer, taking the AI pathway on my course, but some of my previous work includes full-stack web development, Android kernel/OS development and experimenting with Arduino.
Aside from software development, some hobbies of mine include music (DJing and production), photography, music production, and surfing.
I am currently open to any opportunities that may arise, and am always looking to learn new things. Feel free to contact me via email!
