About me

  My love for computer science didn't start with a love for coding - it started with a love for building. Growing up, I was always drawn to creative pursuits, especially when they involved constructing something from scratch. It began with my obsession with Legos and evolved into a fascination with simulation games(i.e., The Sims, Animal Crossing). I didn't care much for managing simulated citizens - what really excited me was designing the worlds they lived in.

  I would spend hours crafting detailed environments where my characters could thrive. Because of this passion, I initially chose to study architecture when I entered university. I appreciated how it challenged me to think abstractly and solve problems creatively, but over time, I started to feel stifled. I found myself turning to video games again, especially those with beautifully designed worlds - like Assassin's Creed and its intricate historical settings. That's when it hit me: why limit myself to building in the real world, with the constraints of physics and materials, when I could create freely in the digital one?

  After my first semester, I made the switch to computer science - and I haven't looked back. At first, I wanted to design the types of games I'd always loved. But as I progressed through my coursework, I discovered something even more fulfilling: software design. I'm driven by the process of identifying a problem or opportunity, mapping out a solution, and building an application that brings it to life - especially on the backend. Coding quickly became more than a skill - it became my craft. And ever since, I've been focused on honing it, one project at a time.
