Hello! I'm a doctoral candidate in computer science who is passionate about making programming engaging and enjoyable for everyone. Growing up, I was always creative, loving puzzles and finding innovative ways to combine things into new creations. As I approached college, I was driven to find a field that fostered my creative energy but also challenged me. This led me to computer science. But unfortunately, my journey started with shaky seas as I struggled to connect the fundamental concepts learned in class to the big-picture goal of creating programs and systems. Reflecting back on my rocky start, I was inspired to find a way to make others' journeys smoother. My goal with the programmers' reef is to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. I hope your journey into programming is smooth sailing from here! Happy coding!
