Prologue
My passion for tech began in elementary school by watching developer conferences and product launch events. I'd sketch out devices (phones, tablets, laptops) not just for how they looked, but to imagine how they worked behind the scenes. That curiosity is what led me to study CS.
Outside of tech, I keep active with various sports like basketball, ice hockey, tennis, soccer, and a bit of running.
