> /about
I'm technically an undergraduate studying Computer Science and Mathematics at UBC, but honestly, that's just a fraction of who I am.
When I'm not debugging code or trying to figure out linear algebra, you'll probably find me exploring new cities, taking photos, spoiling my dog, or hunting for the best bubble tea in town. I love building cool things and collecting good stories along the way.

Lele (乐乐)
Meet Lele! Born in 2014, he's the real main character. He currently lives with my parents in Yuxi, Yunnan (China), so I barely get to see him. Distance makes the heart grow fonder though!
