Shad Aydid

Get to know me

Full Stack Developer & Cybersecurity MSc

I'm a Web Developer based in Slough, UK, with an MSc in Cybersecurity & Forensic Information Technology from the University of Portsmouth and a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering — graduating with top honours, including 1st place awards presented by the Vice Chancellor and Military Commanding Officer across multiple semesters.

Currently working as a Web Designer at CLS UK Services, I am actively expanding into full stack development — building end-to-end applications with React, Next.js on the frontend and Node.js on the backend. My cybersecurity background gives me an edge most developers don't have: I design systems with security built in from the ground up, not bolted on at the end. I'm looking for a full stack role where I can ship real products and grow fast.
