Who am I?
My love for computer programming started at a young age and continues to thrive to this day. My passion for computer science is paralleled by my unwavering commitment to continuous learning. Kindly find below my proficiency in my top four programming languages!
As a highly extroverted individual, I derive immense satisfaction from collaborative engagements. My interests encompass an array of leisure activities, including video gaming with friends, music-making on the piano or guitar, and swimming at the pool. Although I am a neophyte in the world of computer science, I am profoundly intrigued and eager to delve deeper into this field that ignites my passion.

hey...again (skills and hobbies).
Coding (duh)
I have been learning about computer science for over 4 years and currently I am working on multiple projects from game development, to creating more websites for other extracurriculars that I am proud to be representing.

Music :3
Music plays a big role in my life. During my free time in high school, I use to play the bass clarinet for my school band. As of now, I occasionally play the piano and now play the guitar often whenever I want to enjoy some music.
My current favorite song!
Academics >:)
Competitions are where I strive the most as it forces me to become better. As of now, I am preparing for future events, such as hackathons, coding compeititons, etc., to further my skills.

Personality <3
I would say I am a very outgoing and kind person. If you ever do meet me in person, I would love to talk or even shoot me a private message on one of my socials.

Games :P
Video games continue to be one of my favorite hobbies to relax and chill with friends. At the moment, I am not playing much because of academics, but if you are ever down play, just add me on discord!
