I am a computer enthusiast and the co-found of Oban Credit, currently purusing computer science at Harvard, and interning at Microsoft. I am interested in humans, startups, problem solving, and the world of crypto. Thank you for dropping by my humble abode. The pleasure is all mine.
Am I a hand?
Hmm, am I an eye? I can't be.
I will still be me without a hand or an eye. But will I?
I guess I will ask.
Aristotle, I call upon you. What am I?
What is my essence? My brain?
But isn't my consciousness in the cloud, just insane?
I guess there is no one me, I am just an instant that only exists once.
But then, is it even possible to ask who I am if I am not one?
I am not the same without an eye,
I am not the same tomorrow, I am not the same on Mars.
I am a function of the 4D world, both time and space.
I guess I might be able to answer who I am.
But only if I knew what my defining equation was.
But then again, how can one know the equation, when one is
part of the equation?
Here are some of the things I enjoy though.
I quite often question the meaning of life, but onething is for sure, birthing new things into this world
gives me meaning and satisfaction like no other. I build to solve a problem, to satisfy my curosity, to learn, and
for just the sake of it.
Take a look at some of my works below.
I had a humble introduction to coding when I was 14 years old. From then on, I have been learning how to code and solve problems.
Over time, I have learned the important lesson of how to learn. I don't associate myself with any particular language or framework, but I believe I have equipped myself to pick up any technology in a short period of time.
Follow me on GitHub to stay updated on my projects.
This is how I was introduced to computer programming. I have a good grasp of the basics (HTML, CSS/SCSS, JavaScript) as well as some frameworks like React and Express.
I have worked with relational databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL, as well as NoSQL databases like Firebase's Cloud Firestore.
Check out some of my work below.
Systems have been a significant focus of my recent projects. I have been actively involved in developing various system projects, including distributed systems, networking, and databases. I find great fascination in understanding how different components interact and collaborate within complex systems.
Through my work, I have gained valuable experience in designing and implementing scalable distributed systems, optimizing network performance, and working with databases. Exploring these areas has further deepened my understanding of system architecture and its practical applications.
Feel free to explore some of my system projects below.
I recently got into mobile development. Since I already knew React and had very little experience with Java and Android Studio, the shift to React Native wasn't as hard.
I am currently working with React Native for my company's mobile app, which will soon be published on the Play Store. Keep an eye out for it.
This is the direction I am heading towards, along with system architecture and computer networking. It is what I want to pursue.
I have previous experience with image processing while working on soccer-playing robots, which you can check out below. However, there is still more learning to be done in the future.
OH! Don't even get me started. I love movies. Yes, I am a movie enthusiast. I like movies that emotionally resonate with me, challenge my views, and spark my imagination.
Last but not least, I enjoy reading books. Here are some of the recent ones and the important lessons I learned from them.
C
Python
My biggest project yet with about 10,000 lines of code, capable of storing and querying 10^6 (millions) of rows of data.
HamsterDB is a column-store database. It is designed to efficiently store and query large amounts of data. As a column store database, it is optimized for aggregate operations over large rows.

Replication
Consenses
This chat application is designed to be resilient against up to N failstop faults. It uses a master-slave architecture to ensure fault tolerance and relies on the gRPC protocol for communication between its components.
The master slave architecture is used to come to a consensus on the state of the system. The master is responsible for maintaining the state of the system and the slaves are responsible for replicating the state of the system.

Bash
A custom multicycle processor design implemented in SystemVerilog. It support a subset of the MIPS instruction set. The processor is capable of running a subset of the mips assembly program that is compiled using a custom assembler.
The supported instructions are the most common instructions used in the mips assembly language.
