My name is Callum Alexander, I am a final year undergraduate studying Informatics (Computer Science)
at the University of Edinburgh. I have academic interests in data science, artificial intelligence, and
software engineering, and computer security.
Previously I have been a Quality Assurance Engineer at HYPED, where I helped develop a testing
framework for the 16,000+ line C++ codebase.
From June 2022 to May 2023, I was the Vice President of Edinburgh University Men's Hockey Club, the most successful university men's hockey club in Scotland, and the largest university sports club in the United Kingdom.
I helped co-lead a committee of 25 members while heading various sub committees on running and developing the club.
From June 2021 to May 2022, I was the Website & Publicity Secretary for Edinburgh University Men's
Hockey Club.
My role was to manage the public image of the club through our various social media channels and website. You can find the club website I designed from scratch here, and my social media content here (Look for content dated between June 2021 to May 2022)
When I manage to free up some time from studying and working:
- I play hockey for Edinburgh University Men's Hockey Club
- I am a serial *nix 'ricer' and often find myself messing with random CSS files in my spare time, having hopped between four GNU/Linux distros and six different desktop environments.
- I read Brian Herbert, Brandon Sanderson and other authors
- I am an Asura Ranger found exploring on Fisher of Woe
- I play Screeps, and Factorio.
I dabble in areas of fintech, machine learning, data applications to healthcare, and computer security. I have attended several hackathons, each of them with a different theme.
My Font is JetBrains Mono, my Theme is OneDark on everything (when I mean everything I literally mean everything). I prefer spaces to tabs.
Current Daily Driver: EndeavourOS - I switch regularly between Hyprland and Sway as my working window managers. I have previously used GNOME, Plasma, i3wm, and XFCE as working DEs/WMs.
