Introduction

Hello, and welcome to my website!

On this website I plan to list off my various projects, ideas, and hobbies, both for my own sake, and for those who may wish to see them.

Feel free to get in touch!

About me

My name is Grzegorz (Greg); I am a second year Computer Science student at Aberystwyth University, studying to, hopefully, achieve a Master's level qualification (MComp).

I have been programming since the age of twelve, and have found a passion in solving tough problems through pragmatic, methodical means. I started out with Python, before soon moving onto C++, driven to do so by the performance benefits, though I quickly learnt to love the memory control granted by the language to the programmer. I am now learning Java as part of my course at University.

I started using Linux when I turned fourteen, Kubuntu 18.10 specifically, after getting fed up with the closed off nature off Windows; it was difficult to hack apart and customise. I quickly adapted to, and embraced, Linux and the open source message it carries, and soon wanted to learn more about how such systems function, switching to Arch Linux for just under two years, before finally settling on Gentoo Linux in 2020 which I use to this day. Running Arch and Gentoo has taught me the value of good debugging, reading the documentation, and the importance of modularity, not just in operating systems, but in software as a whole.

Outside of the field, I enjoy going for long walks, cycling, cooking, and sewing.
