About Me

I am currently working towards my B.S. Engineering Physics degree at University of California, San Diego.

Taught myself C in Grade Four, I am rather comfortable programming in C, Python, Rust, Unix shell, etc. I am also an experienced Linux system administrator with experience in working with various software and hardware and setting up and debugging networks.

Apart from working with computers, I love to work on random physical projects like IoT light switches, audio amplifiers, and amateur radio. My callsigns are VE7ZMY (Canadian Basic with Honours) and AK6DS (U.S. Amateur Extra). It is also quite easy for me to drown in any physics or chemistry topics and forget about dinner.

I adhere to my set of moral principles. Other people usually describe me as “very handy,” and I treat other people’s problems as my own. I try to stay altruistic and do whatever I can to make the world a better place. Apart from that, I guess I share some sense of humour.

Hobbies

Playing music is one of my favourite pastimes. I like to experiment with the guitar, the harmonica and the accordion.

Being an environmentalist, I love to hang out with my friends, go outdoors, collect rubbish, and leave no trace.

Tennis, basketball, and Ultimate Frisbee are all sports that I play.
