	At the age of 13, I independently built my own PC, identifying my technical requirements, researching and sourcing compatible components, and managing the project within a set budget. I continue to use the computer three years later, reflecting the quality, reliability, and overall success of the build.

	== Fire Alarm ~~Interest~~ ==		== Fire Alarm System Hobby ==

	I have a keen interest in fire alarm systems as a technical hobby. I enjoy learning how the various components—such as control panels, smoke and heat detectors, manual call points, sounders, beacons and monitoring circuits—work together.

	I enjoy landscape, nature, and aerial drone photography because it lets me capture places from different perspectives. Some of my drone photos have been used on my school’s website, and I was also awarded a £500 Away Resorts voucher for a drone photograph of Mersea Island Holiday Park. I use Adobe software to edit and retouch my images, improving details such as colour, lighting, and contrast.
