Hi, I'm Josh Leach.

I’m a 17 year old student (Year 12) from the UK.
I Grew up in West Sussex, England.
I love being outdoors, and am an avid, Kayaker, Climber And Hiker.
I’ve recently delved into the world of cybersecurity, with my mind loving the challenged and problems that need overcoming.

The best way to introduce you to me; is being showing what I can do.

‘Learning is never done without errors and defeat.' — Vladimir Lenin

I had the opportunity to go to South Korea for the 25th World Scout Jamboree. AS I'm sure you have seen through news outlets, and social media posts - This did not go to plan, with the UK evacuating after two days on site. My endurance through this shows my resilience and ability to plough on through bad situations, and I ended up having an amazing experience out there - just not the original one I thought of.

I was chosen to undertake the task of Designing and Programming all Lighting features within my school Show in 2020,2023, with my Course leading me into Designing and Executing the entire Technological aspects of the upcoming 2024 Show (Sound, Lights, Visuals & Photography). These experiences allow me to learn to work well with others, from other members of the Stagecrew, to The Performers and Staff Members that make the show happen.

My Soft Skills

Furthering My Skills

I'm not afraid to ask for help if the project needs it. That being said, if it means learning a new skill, I will always be up for learning something new so that I can further add to the project.

Leadership

I was selected as Patrol Leader for Korea (25th WSJ), and am a Young Leader within Scouting, I love this role of leadership as it allows me to not only better my skills in teaching others but allows others to learn something from what I have to share.

Teamwork

My experience has taken me from working on my own, to alongside clients and contractors. and further on to major teams of 100+ collegues.

Problem-Solving

My interest in electronics and cybersecurity brings with it a love for problem solving, as each time I debug code, find errors in a circuit, or delve into the issues of a networking system, I build up my problem solving abilities, and transfer them across the problems i encounter.

Communication

From my time spent with clients, I have learnt the necessity for shared understanding and being able to portray what I'm thinking clearly.

Time Management

I have many personal projects, alongside the work i do with clients and colleagues, this results in me having to manage my time well, as to focus on what needs to be focussed on. - And make sure I get away form my computer once in a while!
