Hello and welcome to my web portfolio! My name is Leon, and I am a Computer Science graduate from Liverpool Hope University.
I studied there for three years, beginning in 2022, after spending five years working in Quality Control and Quality Assurance Management.
I have a strong passion for software development, web development, and cybersecurity. I'm always eager to learn new skills and continue
expanding my knowledge in the field of computer science.
In my spare time, I enjoy long-distance running, regularly participating in races from 10 kilometers up to half-marathon distance.
I'm also an avid fan of tabletop roleplaying games.
For my final university project (My Dissertation), I researched file encryption and specifically researched the methodology of AES-256. Alongside this research
I developed a graphical user interface using Python and the PyCryptodome module to implement a file encryption tool.
This tool allows users to upload a file of any extension, and encrypt the file using AES. The file can also be decrypted using the same password. This gives
the users the ability to protect their personal files on their home system.
For a personal project, I developled a desktop application using Python to act as an action sheet for the popular
adventure game books Lone Wolf. This acts as a substitute for pen and paper, and also has a built in dice rolling feature.
Permission to submit this application to GitHub was recieved from Ben Devere before uploading it to the web. Anyone can download
it and use it themselves. It can be found here: Lone Wolf Action Sheet
