I first learned C++ in my first year of college, and it's been a passion ever since. It's an incredibly miserable language with archaic features and an even more archaic syntax - but it's my language. I first learned it with little understanding of the syntax and semantics - however, after being introduced to x86 assembly, it's become one of my most favorite languages. I had zero clue why I would need to care about a pointer until I ventured into x86... and now I absolutely enjoy some of the grind and toil that comes with memory management and I love the idea that I can make a data structure with less overhead than in most other languages.
I learned x86 assembly in my second year of college, and it's been a fascinating journey. It's a very low-level language that gives you direct control over hardware, and it's incredibly rewarding to see how everything works at the most fundamental level. What is the heap? What is the stack? It's fundamentally changed the way I code, learning what the computer's doing on-metal.
HTML is the backbone of the web. Incredibly easy to pick up (for me, mentally!) and it's been a constant companion in my journey to build interactive and accessible websites.
I love it. I hate it. I have to constantly look up which flexbox property does what - but I love the fact I can visualize this in my head. "How do you center a div?" you may ask yourself, and then you may copy & paste whatever solution you find only for it to not work. Your solution? Flexbox. Our problems have been solved with modern technology.
A mainstay of modern web development, JavaScript is the language that brings interactivity to the web. I've been using it for years and it's become an essential part of my toolkit.
I'm an undergraduate TA at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for CS218 Introduction to System Programming - a class affectionately known to all the students as the "weedout class."
I've an eye towards systems-thinking, abstractions, and architectures that shape our perception of the world - whether it be machine or human, philosophical or political. Looking to turn that into a career!
When I'm not studying or TAing, you'll find me writing, learning something new, or diving deep into compsci, polisci, philosophy, and math! The more fields, the merrier!
Leverage my insight born from my love for both STEM and the humanities to live on the forefront of technological innovation and ensure that problems of scale, reasoning, and complexity are addressed with a creativity and understanding that only a multidisciplinary approach can provide.
To remember, every morning, that I get to love the most amazing people in my life - and the person behind my very two eyes, whom I should remember and care for just as much.
It's the name of this little corner of the internet! The site you're on right now. Think of it like a digital home base.
I want it to. I like it, and it's my own site.
Always open to hearing about interesting projects and opportunities! Reach out via email or LinkedIn.
I can't really stop you, but I'd ask that you credit me, though!
There's nothing here! Check back in later.

Name's Andrew - nice to meet you!
I'm going in for a B.S. Computer Science at the
University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
I've an eye towards systems-thinking, abstractions, and
architectures that shape our perception of the world
- whether it be machine or human, philosophical or
political.
Looking to turn that into a career!
Here's what I'm intent on doing as part of my guiding compass.
