01About Me
Hi, I'm Eli
I am a web developer and an ethical hacking enthusiast who is passionate about staying up-to-date with the latest tech and building professional, easy-to-use websites. I log my technology experience and things I'm up to in my blogs, along with side projects that I am actively engaged in.
I studied Computer Science with Cyber Security at Plymouth University and have gained hands-on experience in penetration testing, programming, and technical reporting.
Aside from coding and vulnerability research, I also deliver security awareness training to clients through Cyber PATH and write technical reports that simplify complex network and security topics.
When I'm not around technology, I enjoy spending time either out in nature or in the gym - unplugging my brain, removing myself from screens.
