cs @ concordia · montréal, by way of manila

i like building random little tools and nerding out over whatever i'm into at the moment.

i have way too many hobbies. i make music, take photos, mess around with new tech, and usually end up going way too deep into some random rabbit hole.

mostly just making stuff, learning things, and seeing where it goes.
