Written Snapshots

About Me

Hello world! I’m a 16‑year‑old in Canada who loves building hardware, writing software, and collecting little pieces of knowledge. I haven’t really documented any of my tech projects before — and I want that to change. My hope is that this website becomes a home for my written snapshots: glimpses into my life as I explore technology, learn new skills, and grow as a creator. So, make yourself comfortable in my digital bedroom!

Right Now…

I am learning: CSS animations and layout design + Javascript for websites

I am building: my personal digital journal

I am reading: Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress (for my English IB summer assignment)

I am listening: to Laufey non-stop!

I just watched: the Backrooms! One of the best horrors I ever seen!

I am thinking about: what hardware project I want to do next.

I am obsessed with: iced tea (with reduced sugar). Super refreshing on these hot (and kinda smoky) summer days!

Snapshot 02: July 2026

I just joined HackClub through the Stardance challenge. This year, I really want to grow as a person and actually do things I can look back on — things that show my personality and interests.

I’ve always had a strong curiosity for technology. As I start thinking about post‑secondary school, I know I want to study something in STEM. Engineering is at the top of my list. I’ve done a few projects before — programming a Pololu Zumo Robot with an autonomous line‑reading program, building two car robots, and making several attempts at websites — but I never documented any of them. None of those projects feel like something I can point to and say, “I made this for myself.”

That’s why building a macropad for the Hackpad mission was so exciting. It was my first time designing a PCB, and I genuinely feel like the project improved my CAD design and coding skills. I can’t wait to do more HackClub projects. Their KEEB YSWS program looks really interesting…
