About Me Resume

About

I am an engineering student majoring in Computer Science at The University of Hong Kong. I have always been interested in technology and its day to day applications, which was one of the driving factors for me when I took up this field. I like to experiment with different technologies and languages and build real world solutions. Apart from technology, I take a deep interest in history, politics, mythology and music. In my leisure time you can find me practicing the djembe, the drums and the bass, covering music by my favourite artists.

The University of Hong Kong

I am currently a senior year Computer Science major with a full tuition scholarship as well as a part of the Dean's List of Honour. It is an incredibly diverse university where my interactions and experiences have allowed me to broaden my horizons.

Springdales School, Pusa Road

I spent my formative years here which contributed to me taking an interest in intstrumental music, quizzing and computer science. I Scored 96.2% in AISSCE (top 1% of the country) and was the school topper for science.
