More About Me

I enjoy competition, overly object oriented robust code, golfing, eSports, puzzles, and programming languages with good error logging. In my free time I like building PCs and printing random things with my 3D printer. I love thrills even though I have a fear of heights so I try to visit theme parks as much as I can. My future interests include building cars, learning about aerospace engineering, and inventing things. My passion is for the challenge and the ability to bring concepts in my head to life.
