I was at one time a medical researcher but sadly decided there was no future in pure science. I bagan my I.T. career as a Cisco qualified network support and design engineer (at BT and other Telcos and ISP's), QA Automation, DevOps automation and now finally, a fully committed Software Engineer (Primarily Python).\n\n\n\n## 🛠️ Technologies \u0026 Tools\n![](https://img.shields.io/badge/Code-Python-informational?style=flat\u0026logo=python\u0026logoColor=white\u0026color=2bbc8a)\n![](https://img.shields.io/badge/cisco-Networking-informational?style=flat\u0026logo=cisco\u0026logoColor=white\u0026color=bc422b)\n![](https://img.shields.io/badge/IOT-RaspberryPi-informational?style=flat\u0026logo=raspberrypi\u0026logoColor=white\u0026color=1100ff)\n![](https://img.shields.io/badge/Tools-Git-informational?style=flat\u0026logo=git\u0026logoColor=white\u0026color=deff00)\n![](https://img.shields.io/badge/Tools-Jenkins-informational?style=flat\u0026logo=jenkins\u0026logoColor=white\u0026color=1100ff)\n![](https://img.shields.io/badge/OS-Linux-informational?style=flat\u0026logo=linux\u0026logoColor=white\u0026color=e200ff)\n![](https://img.shields.io/badge/Code-Ansible-informational?style=flat\u0026logo=ansible\u0026logoColor=white\u0026color=ffae00)\n![](https://img.shields.io/badge/Code-JavaScript-informational?style=flat\u0026logo=javascript\u0026logoColor=white\u0026color=bc422b)\n![](https://img.shields.io/badge/Shell-Bash-informational?style=flat\u0026logo=gnu-bash\u0026logoColor=white\u0026color=deff00)\n![](https://img.shields.io/badge/Tools-Docker-informational?style=flat\u0026logo=docker\u0026logoColor=white\u0026color=1100ff)\n\n\n\u003cimg align=\"right\" alt=\"GIF\" src=\"https://github.com/stephen-ra-king/stephen-ra-king/blob/main/assets/coding.gif?raw=true\" width=\"408\" height=\"318\" /\u003e\n\n### A bit more...\n\n- Being somewhat of an inventor, I love finding new and innovative ways to use the \nRaspberry Pi and other [SBC's][sbc_tt].  I marvel at the way sensors and actuators bring another dimension to my Python creations.\n- As a keen member of the maker community I utilize many flavours of [SBC's][sbc_tt] and microcontrollers in my [IoT][iot_tt] projects including Arduino, PyBoard, ESP8266, ESP32 etc.\nwith languages like [**MicroPython**](https://micropython.org/), [**CircuitPython**](https://circuitpython.org/) and C.\n- I enjoy electronics; designing [PCB's][pcb_tt], soldering, fixing, reverse engineering etc. Recently saved myself a fortune by repairing two 'dead' Synology [NAS][nas_tt] drives. The component\nfailures were identified by 'hacking' the firmware.  These drives would have been destined for the scrap pile.\n- Sadly, life if short. So automation is the key. I try to automate as much as possible (at work and home). For example, a recent endeavour to source a Sony PS5 was proving fruitless. However, with the aid of web scraping\n  (utilising [**Selenium**][selenium_url], [**OpenCV**][opencv_url], [**Beautiful Soup**][beautiful_soup_url] and [**Scrapy**][scrapy_url]) I was able to snag one within days.  I know this is an abuse of my Python powers...I'm keeping this one in my private repository for obvious reasons.\n- When I'm not coding, inventing, soldering and welding I can usually be found golfing. It's surprising how cathartic whacking a little ball with a stick can be.\n\n\n#### ![](assets/meow_code_.gif)  Thanks for reading ![](assets/meow_party_.gif)\n\n\n\n## 📈 GitHub Stats\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/Stephen-RA-King/Stephen-RA-King\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg align=\"center\" src=\"https://github-readme-stats-stephen-ra-king.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=Stephen-RA-King\u0026hide=java,html,tex\u0026title_color=ffffff\u0026text_color=c9cacc\u0026icon_color=2bbc8a\u0026bg_color=1d1f21\u0026langs_count=3\" /\u003e\n\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/Stephen-RA-King/Stephen-RA-King\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg align=\"center\" src=\"https://github-readme-stats-stephen-ra-king.vercel.app/api?username=Stephen-RA-King\u0026show_icons=true\u0026line_height=27\u0026count_private=true\u0026title_color=ffffff\u0026text_color=c9cacc\u0026icon_color=2bbc8a\u0026bg_color=1d1f21\" alt=\"Stephen's GitHub Stats\" /\u003e\n\u003c/a\u003e\n\n## 🔥 Streak Stats\n\n[![GitHub Streak](https://streak-stats.demolab.com/?user=stephen-ra-king\u0026theme=dark)](https://git.io/streak-stats)\n\n\n## 💻 Some of my projects\nLook on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
