Hayden Bell
Computer Science student and aspiring Information Security Engineer.
I'm in my third year of a BSc in Computer Science at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. Since 2024 I've been an embedded software engineer on HW Racing, the university's Formula Student team, where I work on the vehicle control unit.
Outside of that I build games in Unity, work through Hack The Box, and like digging into how things work underneath — operating systems, lambda calculus, low-level code. Replace this paragraph with something about what drives you.
