About Me

Hey There! I'm Blake Leahy

I am a recent graduate of the University of Otago, graduating with a BSc majoring Computer Science & minoring Information Science in December 2024. I’m passionate about building innovative tech solutions for real world problems and continuously expanding my development knowledge.

With a solid foundation in both theoretical computer science and practical IT experience, i’m now focusing on modern web development and cloud technologies. My background in IT operations has offered me valuable insights into enterprise-level systems, while my software development projects demonstrate my ability to architect, implement and learn new full-stack solutions.
