About
Former chemical engineering student from the University of California, Santa Barbara turned computer science student at the University of California, Irvine.
I mostly program using NodeJS and TypeScript, but I'm also familiar with Python and C++. I do know a bit on Flutter and Dart, a little bit of C# in the context of Unity. I also have worked with some MATLAB from my background in Chemical Engineering.
I'm a huge fan of hackathons! I've done a lot so far (listed below), and I always come out knowing so much more than what I started with. I think of them as the best way to learn since you're committing to finishing a mini project, it's quite short term, and it's a great chance to challenge yourself and step outside of what you already know. I attribute the majority of my development in this field just to hackathons.
I see myself as someone with the intense desire to perfect my craft—who's willing to accept a challenge and push myself beyond what I already know. I always strive for excellence and thrive on technical complexity.
