Just think of this page as an oasis, where you can momentarily escape the pressures of homework, labs, and other things associated with Computing Science.
I've just completed my 4th year of the Specialization program in Computing Science. What exactly does that mean?

Right now I'm involved with the following orgainizations:
And just to make you think I have a life, I do have a number of hobbies, such as:
