About Me

Building Secure Digital Solutions & Capturing Visual Stories from Hong Kong

Who I Am

Hello! I'm Andrew TAM, a Year 3 student at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, pursuing a BSc (Hons) in Information Security with a minor in Finance. Based in Hong Kong, I balance my passion for technology with creative visual storytelling.

As a developer, I'm passionate about web security and full-stack development. Through my internships at Foodbuyer Technology Limited, I've gained hands-on experience in identifying vulnerabilities like XSS and SQL Injection, building secure web applications with Vue.js, Nuxt.js, and Laravel, and developing RESTful APIs.

Beyond coding, I'm an avid landscape photographer, capturing the beauty of nature with my Canon EOS 6D Mark II and DJI Mavic 3 Pro. I love traveling and have explored diverse landscapes across China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Indonesia, England, France, Monaco, Italy, Vatican, Thailand, and Cambodia. Currently, I'm expanding my horizons as an exchange student at Czech Technical University in Prague (Feb-Jun 2026).
