Hello, I'm Ian

I'm a computer science student who enjoys coding, problem-solving, and exploring new technologies. When I'm not tinkering with tech, you'll find me doomscrolling on Twitter, playing video games, or watching anime. I'm always eager to learn and grow in the field of computer science, and I'm excited to share my journey with you.

As a Computer Science student, I've built a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software development principles.

My personal projects have honed my practical skills in web development, app design, and system architecture. I enjoy minimalistic, intuitive user experiences, turning complex problems into elegant solutions.

I'm constantly looking for internships, startup collaborations, or innovative business ventures. If you have an opportunity where technical skill meets creative problem-solving, I'd love to connect.
