About Me

Hi there! I’m a passionate programmer and lifelong learner who loves building things that make life easier and more interesting. Whether I’m debugging a tricky issue or sketching out a new project idea, I bring curiosity and persistence to everything I do.

I grew up fascinated by how things work — from taking apart old electronics to eventually learning how software powers the modern world. Outside of coding, I enjoy hiking, reading sci-fi novels, and experimenting in the kitchen.

A programmer at work — because laptops and coffee are a universal language.

My Programming Journey

I started programming with Python in high school after stumbling on a tutorial about building simple games. From there, I fell in love with the logic and creativity that programming demands.

Here’s a quick look at my journey:

  1. Year 1 – Learned Python basics; built a text-based adventure game
  2. Year 2 – Explored web development with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
  3. Year 3 – Dived into data structures, algorithms, and Git/GitHub
  4. Year 4 – Started contributing to open-source projects and building full-stack apps

“The best error message is the one that never shows up.” – Thomas Fuchs

I still remember the first time my code actually worked — there’s no feeling quite like it.

Check out the project README for setup instructions.

🐍 Python Automation Scripts

A collection of small scripts that automate repetitive tasks — renaming files, sending scheduled emails, and scraping public data.

Here’s a taste of what one looks like:

import os

def rename_files(directory, prefix):
    """Renames all files in a directory with a given prefix."""
    for i, filename in enumerate(os.listdir(directory)):
        new_name = f"{prefix}_{i:03d}{os.path.splitext(filename)[1]}"
        os.rename(
            os.path.join(directory, filename),
            os.path.join(directory, new_name)
        )
        print(f"Renamed: {filename} → {new_name}")

rename_files("./photos", "vacation")

📊 Data Dashboard

A JavaScript + Chart.js dashboard that visualizes CSV data interactively. Built as a final project for a web dev course.

My ideal workspace: clean desk, good light, and a strong cup of coffee.

Goals

Short-Term

  1. Complete my current algorithms course
  2. Land a summer internship at a tech company
  3. Build and deploy a full-stack web app

Long-Term

  1. Contribute meaningfully to open-source software
  2. Work on projects that have real-world social impact
  3. Mentor newer programmers the way I was mentored
