About Me

I grew up in Mooresville, North Carolina, and later attended the North Carolina School of Science and Math in Durham, which I cannot recommend enough. I wrote my first line of code at age 9 in Python, and also dabbled around in Scratch, but first seriously learned to code in middle school.

My favorite hobbies are learning new things, working out, and playing table tennis.

I have lost countless hours to the following puzzle games:

• Picross, first by Henry Liou, nowadays by myself
• Sean O'Connor's Slay, through the end of sophomore year of college
• Minesweeper, early on in high school

My favorite books are Robert Caro's The Years of Lyndon Johnson series.

I studied computer science at the University of Texas at Austin, graduating in three years.
