Q & A

What word will you describe yourself?

Bubbly

What do you like doing in your spare time?

Playing Nintendo Games, reading and surfing the web for interesting topics. (Theology is my main interest right now)

What made you learn programming?

I have always liked inventing things, but I don't have the grades for engineering. Computer science is the closest thing to it, so I pursued that path.

When was the first time you coded?

If you count Scratch from MIT a "code", then that would be when I was 10. I coded in HTML and CSS when I was in my teenage years. Then I did some C++ at a summer camp when I was 17. Then I did my undergrad in Computer Science and learned a lot more languages.

PORTFOLIO

MIDILodica

Minor Capstone Project

This was a capstone project I made with my Yamaha P32D melodica. I upgraded the innards of the melodica and made it so that it can interact with the computer via MIDI
