I am a computer science student who loves solving problems with code, namely using Java, C and Node.js. Whenever a task becomes especially tedious, I will often attempt to automate it. Some of the things I do that I couldn't automate include: improvising on the piano, playing badminton and going to the gym.

Skills

Programming Languages & Tools
Relatively proficient at HTML, as you can see from this expertly edited Bootstrap template. I've also done backend work with Javascript, MySQL and PHP.
Can read, write and understand CSS with help from my friends over at StackOverflow.
Used Photoshop more than once. I would say that I'm good at it. I use it for everything from designing logos to creating business cards and application mockups. My graphic design portfolio is attached below.
1+ years of experience with Java. I have created many projects and automated many tasks with Java.
Have relative proficiency at the Microsoft Suite (Excel, Powerpoint, Word etc.). I also know how to use Latex.
Have done a healthy amount of video editing although not a lot of special effects (I'm working on it).

Hobbies and Interests

Although I like playing piano, badminton and video games (I know. Typical.), there is not a single interest/hobby that I tie myself down to.

I like composing music, watching documentaries, taking long-albeit occasional-walks, making Bootstrap websites, and much more.

I love exploring new subjects and developing more skills. In fact, a lot of my relevant skills (at least I hope they're relevant) such as my proficiency in Photoshop and video editing, come from the many interests that I've garnered over these few years.
