Hi, my name is Elliot, and I'm a second year computer science & mathematics student at the University of Liverpool. I have always been interested in computers, I made my first website when I was around 12 years old, and I remember thinking how cool it was that I could just make a website that other people could see from anywhere in the world. I have made websites for fun ever since, although I don't make anything complicated because I always try to make my websites with absolutely no Javascript.
I've also always been quite good at maths, I think what I like best about maths is the problem solving. That's probably why I also enjoy programming, as I like having a problem in front of me and being able to use my knowledge and my resources to solve it. I have a pretty strong interest in cryptography and intend to make detailed looks into different algorithms and post them here for all to see on this site.
Outside of these two areas, I love watching movies and try to go to the cinema to see new films as often as I can. As well as this, I have recently started learning Latin using Hans H. Ørberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata series of textbooks. In June of 2023 I managed to get a 3 month free trial of Duolingo, and I decided to use my 3 months to complete their latin course. After I completed the course however, I found that it wasn't as in depth as I would have liked, and upon further research I found the aforementioned book series and decided to give them a try. For you see, I enjoy reading classic books, and have often heard how reading a book in it's original language is incomparable to reading a translation, no matter how good it may be, and therefore I will continue to learn Latin until I can read some of the famous works of great Roman poets.
