Hey. I'm Gagan Singh
I'm an 18-year-old student pursuing a career in computer science.
Uh-oh, I'm running out of copy, uhh... Lorem Ispum?
Who Am I?
A resourceful, self-motivated and passionate individual looking to pursue a career in computer science and a knack for learning new concepts swiftly.
A dedicated character with demonstrated commitment and strong organisational abilities shown through a multitude of high-level projects.
My journey has been one of constant discovery, and I'm eager to take the next step.
I want to immerse myself in cutting-edge research, expanding my skills, and applying my knowledge to create impactful solutions for the betterment of tomorrow.
My Journey
I've been working with computers for over half a decade. Here's a timeline of my journey.

I'm creating a 3D candle designer for an international charity, L'Arche, specifically in Zimbabwe.
They are a global community operating in over 35 countries, supporting people with and without intellectual disabilities to live, work, and grow together.
My web application involves customising a 3D rotatable candle, and to sending it's data for L'Arche to manufacture and sell to fund their amazing work.

Don't think I'm stopping; The frontiers most captivating to me now include AI, cybersecurity, and quantum computing.
Learning, adaptive, evolving systems feels like science fiction come true; on the flip side, cybersecurity provides the challenge of not creating Skynet.
The problem of how Shor's Algorithm poses the threat of breaking cryptographic algorithms was kinda cool (and scary... of course).
Q-bits representing simultaneous values by exploiting superposition astounded me about the potential for such powerful tech.

2024
Built a dynamic website for Noumed Life Sciences, based in Maidenhead, an international pharmaceutical company, from scratch.
2022-2024

Moved onto web development. Became Proficient in HTML, CSS & JavaScript (top two).
Found out using the big three only was pretty nooby. Came across React.JS and the divine power of dynamic websites (bottom left).
Learned Next.JS and Sever Side Rendering, and let's just say, things got better (bottom right)
2019-2021
2019-2021
Finally, I started learning python, so what did I do after "hello world"? Make games of course, what can I say, I'm a gamer.
I made everything from classic like space invaders and pong - to maze games, top-down shooters and 2D platformers.
Seriously though, making games is probably one of the best ways to develop logical thinking, as how to code in general - certainly taught me a lot.
2017-2018
2017-2018
Tinkered with basic software like Kodu & Scratch
Made some simple games and picked up basic computational logic
Definitely not images from Google
Beyond Academics
No one likes a boring academic who doesn't do anything else in life. Luckily, I'm not one.
UK-RAS STEM Robotics Competition Winners
Me and my team were to design rovers to navigate through various Martian terrains as efficient as possible. We won against schools from across the country. We also got a pet rabbit robot.
Charity Shop Volunteer
Volunteered as a charity shop assistant for over half a year. I worked with others, welcomed & solcialised with customers, handled cash, allocated stock and research product prices.
Pharmaceutical Packaging Assistant
Manually packed pharmaceutical products within a GMP environment and timelines. Worked with colleagues within a team listening to requirements and communicating notes on shift changeover.
Instruments & Music
Unofficial grade 5 pianist. I love playing exotic instruments such as the Dilruba and Tabla. I also have experience with creating, editing and uploading audio using DAWs and other software.
DofE Silver Award
3 Days of expedition in New Forest. 12 months of learning a skill (piano). 3 months of physical discipline (swimming). 6 months of volunteering (charity shop).
Academy Level Swimmer
I'm an academy level swimmer at Hillingdon Leisure Centre and have been swimming there for a decade. I've also been taught rescue swimming and basic lifeguarding.
eDX Harvard CS50 Course
I'm currently undergoing the completion of edX Harvard's CS50 Computer Science Course.
Languages
As you can tell, I speak English, first language actually. But did you also know, that I can speak Punjabi (fluently) and Japanese (basic-intermediate)?
