I am a first-year computer science student from Melbourne, Australia. Let me tell you a bit about myself.

I've never been someone who likes being uncertain. Since I was a kid, I have relentlessly questioned things that don't immediately make sense because I hate not understanding something. Whilst on one hand this saw me discover the devastating truth about the Easter Bunny during kindergarten, it also led me down a different kind of rabbit-hole (that was funny, please laugh) of computer programming very young. 🐰

So, I became a bit of a computing nerd. I've almost always had a project in the works whenever I get some time to myself, experimenting with and learning about pretty much anything that interests me.

I have been fortunate enough to further realise my passion for computing through my studies. This year, I was awarded a Westpac Young Technologists Scholarship to study my undergrad in computer science at RMIT.

My interests fluctuate a lot. I currently enjoy exploring systems programming and TCS very broadly. Right now, I'm interested in learning more about:

• Theory of computation
• Programming language design and implementation
• Algorithmics

Outside of study, I love exploring with my friends, watching footy, and trying to learn new things. I'm also a pretty washed competitive speedcuber

Most of my projects are open-sourced on GitHub. Any big projects I'm currently working on are listed below.
