01 — About

Hi, I’m Lucas.

I’m a first-year student reading BSc Computer Science & Mathematics at Durham University, as a member of Van Mildert College. Before Durham I was an Academic Scholar at St Edward’s School, Oxford, where I finished A-levels in Maths (A*), Further Maths (A), Physics (A) and Computer Science (A) in 2026.

My A-level project, Warped Ways, was a procedurally generated maze game with enemy AI and a cloud database behind it. More recently I’ve been building a personal dashboard that pulls my calendar, mail, music, runs and the weather onto one screen.

I split my time between Oxfordshire and Sweden. I’m bilingual in English and Swedish, have passed Tisus (the Swedish test for university studies), and spent three summers working in a restaurant on the Swedish coast. Outside of study I play drums, go running and play football for Van Mildert.
