About me
If it can be built,
I'm building it.
Hey, I'm Joshua 👋
I'm a student from Scotland who turns ideas into real things. Websites, scripts, physical builds, whatever comes to mind or is asked of me.
I'm into web development, hardware, design, and anything that crosses between tech and actually making things. I like figuring out how stuff works, and even more so when I can build something from what I've learned.
When I'm not working on something, I'm probably testing new tech, helping a mate fix their laptop, or improving my projects.
I'm 17, I've been building things since I was about 11, and I'm just getting started.

Mail — laveryjonez.uk
I run my own email server off my domain. Set the whole thing up myself, routing, filtering, all of it. I'd rather have full control than rely on someone else's setup.

Latest print & design work.

I've been in the Army Cadet Force for four years. I held Lance Corporal for two years and recently got promoted to Corporal. It has really shaped how I carry myself. The leadership, the discipline, the teamwork. Nothing else comes close.
I'm working towards the Junior Cadet Instructor Cadre (JCIC) course, I hold First Aid and Skill-at-Arms quals at 3-Star level, and I'm currently working through my Duke of Edinburgh Bronze.
