I am 21 and doing a bachelor’s in Computer Science. At the start of my degree I thought it was just old academic stuff, but after a few months I realized what computing really is.

I already learned some things at a basic level, like WordPress and graphics editing software. Computer Science shows what is behind these fancy user interfaces. I struggle and put effort into understanding how everything we see on screens and do digitally works deep down. It all happens because of semiconductors — silicon. I learned that programming languages are just tools; deep down everything is just 0s and 1s, or high and low voltages.

I have a strong understanding of how the computer, softwares, internet works. When you click a button on amazon.com, I like to think about what happens behind the scenes.

Right now I am exploring artificial intelligence — not just using the GPT API or other fancy tools, but trying to figure out the math behind this AI era. I love exploring things beyond the surface and digging into the abstractions around us. I enjoy meeting people, sharing ideas, and learning from others.
