About me

Hi there!

My name is Christos Loucaides, and I am currently studying BSc (Hons) Computer Science with Management at Queen Mary, University of London. I graduated from The English School Nicosia in 2019, and then served in the Cypriot National Guard for 14 Months.

This portfolio website highlights some of my key skills and projects I've worked on in the past. This site actually started as a piece of coursework for one of my university modules, but I've decided to rebuild it using the Bootstrap framework to also make it mobile friendly!

I've worked on a variety of projects ranging from web development to short films, as well as running a media-based startup a few years ago.

Skills & Education

What I've learned

I graduated from The English School, Nicosia with A-Levels in Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics and Modern Greek. I have now completed the first year of my BSc Computer Science with Management course at Queen Mary.

Throughout school, university and my own free time I have gained a good understanding of the following technologies: Python, Java, HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, MySQL. As well as Adobe Premiere Pro which is my video editing software of choice.

Experience

What I've worked on:

Lab Demonstrator

September 2021 - Present

Selected to assist at lab sessions and assessment for Computer Science modules at Queen Mary, which I scored highly in during my first year. Helping first-year students with these modules has allowed me to further understand some of the concepts taught.

Summer Intern

June 2021 - August 2021

Worked at Socialway eServices together with the company's web team on various client websites. This included managing and updating page content through a CMS (Wordpress). I was also tasked with improving the SEO of some client pages through JSON-LD Schema types. By the end of my internship I had written a program to do this automatically.

Artillery Soldier

June 2019 - September 2020

As part of my national service, I served 14 months as an artillery soldier. More specifically, I was a Radio and Communications Specialist, and part of my duty was contacting my battalion's brigade on a daily basis using mil-spec radio equipment, as well as operating the unit's communication center.

CTO Quickeat

October 2016 - March 2017

Quickeat was a social media-based company under the Junior Achievement Competition. As the company's CTO, my job was to film and edit short one minute videos with a goal to promote healthy eating. As well as creating and maintaining the company's website.
