I'm currently a university student working towards the following two degrees:

B.E.Sc Electrical Engineering

B.Sc Computer Science

I'm focusing my studies on computer architectures and embedded systems. For now, I'm just enjoying school, building random little projects, and contributing to this website! :)

Note that if you have any issues or comments for me, don't hesitate to add an @Breakthrough to your comments!
