Welcome

Hello! I'm William Doyle, an aspiring physicist with a Master's degree in Physics (MPhys) from the University of Portsmouth. My journey began with an early fascination for computers, which evolved into a profound passion for mathematics and physics. This blend allows me to approach programming through the lens of physics, leveraging computational techniques to solve complex problems.

Proficient in Python programming, I've used it extensively for data analysis, developing simulations, and tackling intricate physics challenges. My approach is deeply influenced by physics principles, and I often harness the power of parallel computing for optimal performance.

I'm also passionate about exploring different Linux distributions like Arch, Void, Ubuntu, Alpine (mainly for Docker containers), and Fedora (for running my home server!). Tinkering with software and hardware to optimise performance and customize user experiences has enhanced my technical skills and deepened my appreciation for the open-source community.

At the core of my pursuits lies a relentless curiosity to understand the 'why' behind phenomena. Physics, to me, is more than a field of study—it's a philosophy that fuels my quest for reasons and rationale. Guided by insightful mentors and tutors, I'm committed to lifelong learning and continually evolving both personally and professionally.

While I'm considering pursuing a PhD in the future, I'm currently exploring job opportunities in physics and programming. I'm eager to embrace new challenges that will help me grow and contribute meaningfully.
