Hi, my name's Hugh. After 5 years working as a police officer, I decided that I wanted to try something different.
I am currently studying for a Master's of Software Development at the University of Glasgow after discovering that I liked making computers do things.
I code frequently, and enjoy completing challenges on CodeWars, Leetcode and building my own projects. To see what I have been working on recently, please see my GitHub account.
Below, you can see the results of some of my tinkering.
