Building and sharing things are my favorite things to do since childhood.  As a kid in grade school, I have folded countless paper sheets into awesome battle tanks and challenged my friends to build better ones. I also played a lot of video games. During one summer, I was fascinated by how much work needs to be done in the creation of a video game: Story-writing, Graphic Design, Sound Engineering, and Software Engineering. Needless to say, I created my own video games using kid-friendly video game creation softwares from our old family computer, and had my brothers play them with me. They gave me feedback and I was happy to fix problems in order to make my game perfect. At the tender age of 9, I learned how to design characters, write stories, write music, write code, and pitch to friends.  In high school, I joined the theatre arts club, further reinforcing my ability to perform in front of a large audience and to overcome stage fright. I didn't have lots of friends as I have spent lots of time at home learning things.  In college, I took up Computer Science and immediately felt right at home. I won several competitions and joined as many hackathons as I could to learn new technologies in the industry. I did a thesis on sentiment analysis of tweets relating to fast-food restaurants using advanced technologies that were not taught in school.  In the industry, I am a programming polyglot. I garnered different project experiences ranging from e-commerce, to telemedicine, to banking and finance, to real estate. After accomplishing tasks for the day, I spend my free time helping others and learning new languages and technologies. I often attend meetups and conferences, and give talks about the new shiny things I have learned. I still join as many hackathons as I could but with the goal of learning new viable business models rather than new technologies.  I believe I have accomplished lots of things in life, but I can foresee a lot of growth for me still. I’ll be amending my biography regularly to keep things updated. Hello world, here I come!
