Hi, I'm William

About Me

I’m a passionate STEM enthusiast who enjoys Computer Science. My early programming days began in high school with Java around 2012. I then explored ES6 JavaScript, React, Solidity, NodeJS, and other frameworks, languages, and tools starting in 2015.

In university, I honed my skills in C and C++, exploring data structures & algorithms, systems programming, DevOps, AI/ML, and cybersecurity. I enjoy staying up-to-date with tech trends, beta-testing new tools, and occasionally reading academic papers.

When I’m not coding or exploring new ideas, you’ll find me solving brain teasers and puzzles, reading papers and fiction, or experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes.

Favorite Languages

C++ C JavaScript Python C# Java

Always curious to explore new languages. I've explored Octave (MATLAB), Guile (Lisp), and other programming languages.

Currently catching up on Rust (especially for building cross-platform Tauri apps).

Comfortable in Docker (Portainer), virtual machines, and occasionally battling dependency dragons.

Strengths

  • Clear communication & strong documentation (familiar with Notion, Jira, Overleaf, and other documentation tools)
  • Mentorship experience as Undergraduate Research Assistant and Graduate Teaching Assistant
  • Enjoy collaborating with knowledge-sharing teams

Fun Facts

  • 💻 Favorite Linux distro: Ubuntu (Arch is cool, but maybe overrated)
  • ☕ Favorite drink: Coffee first, tea second (green or lavender)
  • 🎵 Favorite music: EDM & House (Daft Punk!)
  • 🎮 Favorite games: Mostly Nintendo, some PC games like Minecraft
  • 🧪 Tech guilty pleasure: Adding ASCII art to code comments
