-Hi, I'm Nick! I'm a Software Developer at SAS Institute, and a recent graduate with First-Class Honors in M.Eng. Computer Science from the University of Manchester.
+Hi, I'm Nick! I'm a Software Developer at SAS Institute[^1], and a recent Computer Science graduate from the University of Manchester.
-I enjoy working on open-source projects and exploring DevOps practices, secure hosting, and cloud technologies in my homelab. My interest in fintech keeps me experimenting with modular programming and data integration for real-time analysis. Outside of work, you'll often find me on photo walks, cooking, hiking -- that is, when the weather allows it, or hunting for hidden music gems, proudly landing in the top 1% on Spotify for most obscure tastes.
