Hi, my name is Tobias. I'm 22 years old and have recently graduated with a First Class Honours in Computer Science at Loughborough University. Since then I have started as an Associate Security Consultant at LRQA, as part of their pen testing team.
I'm hard-working, dedicated and focused, with my placement year manager describing my work ethic as "exceptional". For as long as I can remember I've had a passion for technology. When I was 5-years-old, I bought a trampoline with my parents' eBay account (I didn't get to keep it). I've known since starting high school that I wanted to be a Software Engineer.
In my spare time I enjoy programming, for a long time I wanted to be a Software Engineer, but during my final year of university I was introduced into the Cyber Security industry.
Some programming languages / technologies I've used in the past incude:
- C++
- Python
- JavaScript / TypeScript (and the relevant frameworks used to create backend and frontend applications)
- PostgreSQL
- Java
In addition, I have experience with setting up a Jenkins pipeline for automated testing, writing requirements, creating software design diagrams, and configuring a VPS to host my own web server.
Although my passion is technology, I also have a strong interest in economics and business. I keep up-to-date with the stock market and follow the news regularly to stay informed with what's happening around the world.
My hobbies include gaming, watching films, hanging out with my friends and family. I'm passionate about F1 (Mercedes), I watch almost every race, including the early ones. I also have an interst in Football, supporting my home team Norwich City and I occasionally play golf.
