I started programming when I was in middle school. Initially started with web development skill, learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, and other languages/tools as part of a training program for a national website designing competition for High School students. By the time I got to High School, I stopped participating in this program and taught myself Objective-C. Shortly after that, I built my first video game, Fish Falls, which is now available for free on the App Store. Another summer later, I participated in the National High School Game Academy at Carnegie Mellon University, where I learned Unity3D and valuable teamwork, communication, and presentation skills. I am now a Sophemore majoring in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon. Programming excites me because I enjoy the logic, problem solving, and creativity involved, and I love creating new things. I also love that programming pushes me to keep learning new things as a approach problems I haven't seen before.
