🚀 Welcome to my little corner of the Internet! 🚀

• I'm a rising freshman at Georgia Tech (go jackets!) studying Aerospace Engineering
• I LOVE thinking and learning about space, rocketry, evolutionary biology, computational sciences (especially physics!), social sciences (especially geography, history, and philosophy), emerging technologies and futurism... I could go on and on!
• I have been into computer science since I was 10 (yes, I was a Scratch kid), and I have been programming since I was 12. I have lots of breadth of knowledge and pride myself on being able to learn quickly:
  • I am comfortable working with: C#, Java, JavaScript (Node.js, React), Typescript
  • I have had significant exposure to and have basic skill in: Python, C++, F#
  • To learn:
    • Languages: Rust + Go (what's with all the hype?!), C (memory management terrifies me, but I need to confront this fear ASAP), R (data analysis is fascinating, but I want to study enough statistics first)
    • Topics to explore: Linux system architecture, embedded systems + IoT, networking + cybersecurity, robust and fast cross-platform UX (there are so many 'modern frameworks' but sadly, they all seem slow or extremely limited), blockchain, machine learning, large-scale web applications (how to provide desktop-like experiences in browser)... again, I could go on and on!
      • I find the command line extremely interesting and hope to use + develop command line utilities in the near future. Good command-line programs seem difficult but oh so satisfying, simple, and fast to use!
      • If you are experienced in these topics or are similarly interested, talk to me!
• I also have some really exciting things I want to do soon:
  • Create a cool personal website
  • Integrate hardware (arduino, motors, raspberry pi, cameras, etc.) with AI (CV, voice recognition, obstacle avoidance, etc.)
  • Learn 3D modeling for 3D-printing and animations/visualizations
  • Contribute to a large open-source project
• Some 'moonshots' I have:
  • Give a TED talk
  • Work on something that will land on the Moon / Mars
  • Publish a research paper
  • Have an essay published in a reputable publication (Harper’s, the Atlantic, etc.)
  • Do something worthy of a Wikipedia page
  • Fly a jet around the world
