My name is James, a sixteen-year-old student with particular interests in science, computing and engineering.

​

I'm a gifted mathematician and programmer, and regularly engage in character-building activities at home and across the UK.

 

I'm seeking to build on my skills, and look forward to aligning my strengths with innovative industries in the future.
