I’m Alex Dumbreck. I live in Edinburgh, Scotland and love learning new stuff.

I have always loved learning new things, and shortly after moving house back in 2012 I got my first computer. I was hooked. I started learning how to code through a discord bot called echo, and small javascript projects, and have been doing it ever since.

A couple of other things that I love doing are sailing and skiing. When I am on the water and the slopes, I have always felt more freedom than anywhere else in the world. I love the feeling of the wind in my hair and the sun on my face.

I have spent the last few years working on my TypeScript and more broadly my OOP skills, and I am currently working on a project called Private 6 Mans which is a matchmaking service that can be used to rank you and your friends in any multiplayer game.

I am also working on a slightly smaller project that takes the fundamentals of Private 6 Mans and orients it towards the new Call of Duty game, where we were the first public service to offer a ranked multiplayer system, before even the game itself

Today, I’m working towards getting an university placement where I can apply my skills in the industry itself and get a feel for where I want to take my career.
