I'm a 19-year-old CS student who taught myself how to code mostly by refusing to accept that clicking things manually was a reasonable life choice. I spend my days building frontends that (usually) don't break, grinding LeetCode (keyword: grinding, not succeeding), and like me, learn best by watching someone else suffer first. When I'm not coding, I'm probably playing chess, gaming, or sleeping — the holy trinity of the developer lifestyle.

The best code I've ever written is the code I haven't written yet — mostly because it hasn't had time to disappoint me.
Somewhere between "it works on my machine" and "what do you mean it's in production" lies the entire arc of my career.
