**Tell us a little about yourself…**

Hi! I am a 4th year computer science student at UC Davis. When I graduate, I hope to get into android application development. I also love to help students get introduced to coding because it is such an amazing field.

**When did you first start learning computer science?**

I started coding when I found out about it in college! I couldn’t believe there weren’t any coding courses in my high school.

**Do you have any favorite programs or projects that you’ve built?**

I’ve converted a desktop game with my classmates onto the android platform so that the android phones can play it. I also coded a sudoku solver and made a replica of flappy birds called “flappy helicopter.”

**How would you like to use computer science and programming in the future?**

Android application development is what fascinates me the most.

**Fun facts about you?**

I am a Masters/Challenger League of Legends player and the former MVP/team captain badminton player for my high school. I was also a CPR-certified lifeguard for my local swimming facility. I can speak cantonese fluently.

**Favorite ice cream flavor?**

Mint Chocolate Chip!

**Words of advice for the next generation of coders?**

You have to love coding in order to thrive in this field.
