Tharuk Abeykoon

I'm a Year 12 student at Princes Risborough School, excited about tech and studying Information Technology, Business, and Photography. I'm getting a solid base in computing through practical experience with web development, operating systems, and setting up hardware and software.

My interest in technology took off early. Over the years, I've learned a lot by doing my own projects. I've installed and configured various operating systems and even played around with Hackintosh setups and custom Linux builds.

I know the basics of HTML, CSS, and Python, and I’m now learning C++ to get better at programming. My projects have taught me how to troubleshoot systems and understand how kernels work, along with firmware ideas and config files. For a Young Enterprise project, I designed and built a website, which gave me a taste of what it’s like to work on real-world development projects.

I'm really curious, good at solving problems, and always working to improve my technical skills. Because of this, I’m aiming for a career in cybersecurity. I want to keep learning and help protect systems and data.
