About Me

Hello! My name is Aidan, currently a 3rd year student at the University of Liverpool. My passion for technology started at a young age. Growing up I experimented with making addons and mods for games and tinkering with CSS on early social media sites, which fuelled my interest in tech even more.

Now pursuing a degree in Computer Science, I'm building on the foundations of my knowledge and exploring other areas of the field. This website serves as a project starting point for me to dive deeper into web development and explore different techniques, frameworks, and libraries.

Here are a few technologies I've used recently:

C & C++
C#
Swift
PHP
Javascript
HTML & CSS

Projects

Four Six
Personal Website
Visneti
Marble Battle Royale
And more...

Throughout University and in my own time I've tackled multiple software projects. Select one from the list to see more information!

Four Six

An iOS application for timing and calculating ratios when brewing pourover coffee. Built with SwiftUI in Xcode with responsive interactions and a well designed GUI. Published to the App Store.

Personal Website

The website you're currently on! A personal project to learn more about web development. Built from scratch by hand in VSCode with HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Hosted with Github Pages.

Visneti

Build as part of a collaborative team over 3 months, Visneti is a mobile focused website developed for exploring local night-out venues in Liverpool. It uses a client-server architecture, with an HTML/CSS frontend and a PHP/SQL backend.

Marble Battle Royale

Marble Battle Royale is a 3D Online multiplayer game build with C# in Unity. Featuring realistic physics collisions and real time multiplayer networking. The game was developed over 6 months as part of my final year project.

And more...

Multiple smaller projects, including:

- Simulated printing press built in Java applying object-oriented design principles.

- Java programs with thorough JUnit testing and test builds using Apache Ant.

- Line drawing program built in C# using Visual Studio GUI elements.
