Hi, I’m Isaac <@tekkiech>
I’m a Year 12 student — curious about software, hardware, and everything in between.
I build compact, practical tools and small services I use daily. I prefer clear interfaces, dependable automation, and readable code.
About Me 😄
I’m 17 and currently studying A-level Mathematics, Further Mathematics, and Computer Science. Those courses have sharpened my analytical thinking, formal logic, and practical problem-solving. I completed 10 GCSEs and achieved at least A-equivalent grades in Mathematics, English, and all three sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics). That mix reflects a balance of technical ability and clear written communication.
My aim is to start a degree apprenticeship in 2027 after A-levels to combine real-world engineering with structured learning. I want hands-on experience that builds teamwork, time management, communication, adaptability, and disciplined problem-solving.
Outside school I’m interested in technology end-to-end: how CPUs are fabricated, how firmware runs on appliances, and how systems are stitched together. I learn from videos (YouTube, TED), podcasts, newsletters, articles and books, and I apply those lessons in personal projects. For example, I run a home server that hosts media, serves as a NAS, and exposes a remote code server accessible via a privacy-focused VPN and secure tunneling — small infrastructure projects that teach about reliability, networking and ops.
I’m keen to connect with people in software and IT to learn from industry experience and explore degree apprenticeships or early-career roles.
