Hi, my name's Demetrius, a Masters student at University of Melbourne studying Cyber Security. While my coursework is deep in Cyber Security, I'm equally passionate and self-taught in front-end development and building great user experiences with tools like React and Next.js. I've combined these interests to build a website for a school in my hometown, where I built a management system for teachers. I'm interested in any opportunities involving either AI or front-end development, and especially both! Please feel free to reach out
When I'm not coding, you'll probably find me programming for my indie game project. I'm a huge cult of the lamb fan, and I also play badminton, and lately, jogging.
