About me

I came from Electrical Engineering before switching to Computer Science — the kind of path that leaves you used to heavy math and problems with no obvious first solution. I did Harvard's CS50 somewhere along the way, and ever since I've used side projects as an excuse to test new ideas — that's how this site and the ones below came to be.

I like solving real problems, whether that's backend, frontend, or whatever shows up.
