About Me

I am a self-taught with significant open-source contributions, experience developing commercial software, and a strong background in competitive programming. I enjoy participating in coding contests and building applications to learn and solve problems.

I started coding when I was around 13 years old, with Java as my first language. I watched thenewboston tutorials on YouTube to learn the basics and gradually expanded my skills. My first funny reason for liking coding was because the syntax highlighting and the Eclipse IDE looked very cool and foreign. Coding became a daily thought and I kept practicing, by building toy projects and exploring various fields.

As of now, I am exploring mathematics, computer science, and artificial intelligence. I will be going to University of Fraser Valley, British Columbia in May 2026 for Bachelor of Science, then major in Computer Science.
