Scratching my head, making my iconic thinking face, and mashing my keyboard. You guessed it, I am a computer science major. I am currently a first-year computer science major at Stanford who intends to pursue a Master's. At Stanford, I intend to explore concepts that interest me now and even the ones I am not aware of.I love programming not because I like creating things (I will admit that is a part of it), but because it's such a fundamental tool for solving problems. I like to think that I am quite a good problem solver. I may struggled initially understanding syntax and debugging silly mistakes, but I am able to map out a solution very quickly. At the very least, I know what is causing my problem and where to look for possible answers. I've worked on numerous projects, some that can even be considered quite ambitious. Generating music through large matrices of probabilities? Creating prototypes for games? Developing websites to solve problems in the classroom and in different communities? I've done it all. As a result of my passion, I am a proud QuestBridge Scholar, Amazon Future Engineer, and Vida Valiente scholar. However, this is simply the beginning. I have so much more to look forward to and I intend to further pioneer the Music and Computer Science field. Being able to combine both of my passions into one coordinated and organized pathway is my dream. No matter how rocky the path is, I will continue looking forward to that destination.
