Who I am
Hi. My name is Nathan, I am currently a placement software engineer at BAE Systems and student at the Univeristy of Liverpool.
Despite still being a student, I have a variety of passion projects and projects related to my education under my belt, many of which I hope will showcase not only my skills as a programmer but also my passion. I have a preference in back-end languages but have been tinkering with all things computer science from a young age and I am eager to demonstrate my ability through my placement and any future roles.
I have varying levels of experience in many areas, some of which are:
- C#
- Java
- Python
- Haskell
- Visual Basic.NET
- JavaScript
- SQL
- Tailwind
- CSS/HTML
- Unity
- PHP
- Swift

There are also various other projects on my github that are either smaller in size or rather old relative to some of the projects on display here, many of which will display technical skill in other areas so feel free to look through them if you wish.
