I'm Oliver Peploe, a first-year Computer Forensics and Security student at Canterbury Christ Church University. I'm driven by the challenge of uncovering digital evidence and understanding how threats operate across modern systems.
Before university, I built real businesses — running a six-figure e-commerce operation at 14, growing a YouTube channel to 40,000+ subscribers, building and managing websites, and handling social media at scale. That entrepreneurial foundation gives me a unique perspective in cybersecurity.
I'm early in my academic journey and constantly expanding my toolset. I believe in learning by doing — building projects, tackling CTF challenges, and pushing into unfamiliar territory every day.

Whether it's an opportunity, collaboration, or just a chat about cybersecurity — I'd love to hear from you.
Everything I've built — newest first. Older projects move down as new ones are added.
Before cybersecurity, I built businesses, audiences, and products. Here's the non-academic side of my journey.
Built and ran a fully operational e-commerce business from scratch as a teenager. Designed and developed the entire website — front-end and back-end — handled product sourcing, order fulfilment, customer service, and marketing. Generated six figures in revenue.
Grew a YouTube channel to over 40,000 subscribers through consistent content creation, audience engagement, and analytics-driven strategy. Developed skills in video production, scripting, editing, SEO optimisation, and community management.
Owned and operated mithian.xyz — a personal web platform. Handled domain management, hosting, design, and content. Built practical experience in web architecture, deployment, and maintaining a live web presence.
Managed social media presences across multiple platforms — creating content strategies, scheduling posts, engaging with audiences, and analysing performance metrics to grow reach and engagement.
