About Me
I'm a Pure Mathematics major and Computer Science minor (formerly double major) at the University of Waterloo who does a lot of math and coding. I fell in love with programming when I was 11 through video games, and I haven't stopped from there. My professional experiences include standalone game development, game modding, and backend web development. Outside of programming, I'm highly passionate about pure mathematics and I'm strongly considering pursuing graduate work in the future. I'm generally interested in all math I've seen thus far, but am especially interested in differential geometry and topology. In particular, my (limited) experience with geometric analysis has been very exciting!
