My Goals

I hope to use my degree in Computer Engineering, which I studied hard for, to work in exciting tech fields like ecological advanced systems or machine learning, or kickstart my career in game design. I’ll also finally get my writing out there; I’d write articles, anthologies and maybe a novel, too.
