About Me

I became interested in the field of software development at the young age of 8 years old. I loved video games at the time and was fascinated by the inner workings of my favorite video games (at the time, these were Terraria and Minecraft). This led me to learn object-oriented programming through various summer courses, becoming fluent in Java and Javascript.

My interest in mathematics started in high school when I picked up competitive Yu-Gi-Oh. Being hired by a local card store to represent them at tournaments across North America, I needed an edge over my competition, and math was that edge. Learning the basics of statistics from age 13 allowed me to gain a competitive advantage over my competition, securing many top placements at international tournaments containing over 600 players and awards for being ranked within the top 16 players in North America.
