About Me.

Ever since I embarked on my programming journey as a young child, I've been entranced by the power and flexibility of code.

Today, I'm an avid programmer currently interested in machine learning and systems. Programming is my superpower: With it, what I can create is limited only by my imagination!

Outside of programming, I play a lot of strategic games like StarCraft and Dota 2. I also enjoy watching movies, reading books, traveling, and (occasionally) learning about tax deductions!

I strive to bring energy, technical knowledge, and a strong desire to learn with me wherever I go.
