About Me

My story

I'm a second-year honors student studying computer science at Sheffield Hallam University.

I’m passionate about computer security, hardware, and programming. Outside of my studies, I enjoy building computers, playing Stardew Valley, and playing the piano. Since moving to the United Kingdom in 2022, I’ve been focused on my undergraduate degree, and I plan to pursue a master’s in AI and cybersecurity afterward.

Education

Studied At
Sheffield Hallam University BSc (Hons)
Computer Science
2023-2027

I am currently a Computer Science student at Sheffield Hallam University in the United Kingdom. Transitioning to this degree after my first year was initially daunting, but I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment. My first lecture sparked a mix of excitement and intimidation, especially as I had no prior coding experience, while many of my peers did. This motivated me to learn as much as possible.

During my first year, I completed multiple projects that contributed to my achievement of a first-class final grade, a significant milestone as an international student. Now in my second year, I am focusing on learning C++ and Python. In addition to developing these technical skills, I have greatly enhanced my communication and teamwork abilities. I feel fortunate to have learned from my exceptional peers and lecturers, who have truly enriched my university experience.

The University of Sheffield BA (Hons)
Business Management
2022-2023

I completed my first year in Business Management before deciding to switch to Computer Science.

During that year, I wrote a business analysis report on NVIDIA, studied accounting-related mathematics, and developed skills in communication and decision-making in a professional context. This background in business bridged the gap between my coding skills and the entrepreneurial knowledge necessary for launching a startup in the future. I gained valuable insights into market research and financial management.

Combining this experience with what I learned in my second semester of Computer Science has deepened my understanding of how to transform my coding projects into a viable business.
