About me

Callum Kerr · BEng (Hons) Computer Security and Forensics

Professional web engineer

I'm a digital professional working at the University of Edinburgh, and I manage a portfolio of bespoke websites for individuals and small businesses. I've been building professional websites since 2010, and messing with HTML/CSS for long before then.

Hobbyist photographer

    I provided support to users of the University's primary virtual learning environment (Learn), Moodle, and several other bespoke systems. I also developed bespoke themes for a Moodle instance, and a Bootstrap-based WordPress theme utilising the "EdGEL" framework.

    University Website Programme · Corporate Special Projects

    A one year work placement arranged in between Edinburgh Napier University and The University of Edinburgh. I was the first placement student in the team, and glad that I wasn't the last.
