ABOUT

I wrote my first ever line of code in grade school for a Minecraft mod. Since then, my curiosity has led me to explore many domains— web development, gamedev, computer graphics, and robotics— just to name a few. Confronting formidable challenges and steep learning curves is my bread and butter.

When I'm not coding I like to destress(?) by five stacking with friends in Valorant or climbing at a local gym. Occasionally I play guitar in a futile attempt to learn Polyphia songs.
