Hello, I am a
I'm a Computer Science & Radio/Television/Film student who is deeply interested in the fields of technology and entertainment, particularly when the two overlap. We live in an age where it is easier than ever for people to introduce their ideas and stories to the world, and I want to be at the forefront, creating, not simply watching.
