Hello, I am
Bill Thomson
Cyber Security Enthusiast and Full-Stack Developer Graduate
Just a little about me: I've spent the last four years living in South Korea. I primarily worked with and taught Software Engineers English. During the pandemic, I helped set up a remote ESL company. I built the curriculum and helped build the website. This is when I became interested in transitioning from ESL to Software Engineering. I returned to the UK last year and sat an intensive Full-Stack Developer course. Currently working for Atos in security validation and enrolled in CAPSLOCK cyber security. Check out my portfolio and GitHub if you're interested in seeing the projects I've been working on, or even if you're interested in traveling to South Korea, just get in touch!
