About Me

Hi, I’m Kieran! I’m a T Level student and student rep at Bournemouth & Poole College, and I’ve always been passionate about technology, especially cybersecurity and ethical hacking. I learn best by getting hands-on, so I love diving into projects and challenges, and I spend a lot of my own time taking online courses, like through the Cisco Networking Academy, to keep learning. I’m hardworking, organised, and determined—whether it’s independent study, practical practice, or helping others. Along the way, I’ve earned a Merit in the Bebras Computing Challenge and been recognised for team leadership during work experience. Outside of tech, I’m a gamer, music lover, and always up for good sci-fi or horror. Everything I do is about learning, improving, and working toward my goal of becoming an ethical hacker.
