When I'm not programming or doing work for class, I enjoy playing
video games with my friends, rock climbing, reading manga and
webnovels, and listening to music. I am always very passionate about
the activities that I enjoy.
I started rock climbing in the summer before college, and have been
on-and-off due to a couple of semi-serious injuries that I've gotten
in my fingers. However, I have always stayed connected with the sport
by working at Drexel's Rock Climbing Wall, and work both as a Manager
while the rock wall is open for business, and as a "setter", which
means that I create the routes that people climb. The main thing that
I love about rock climbing is the problem solving, which is also why I
love programming so much.
I've been playing games almost my whole entire life, and have always
been very competitive and passionate. My childhood dream was to become
a pro gamer, and while that was never achieved, I am quite proud of my
achievements. In high school, I achieved the rank of the Top 400
players on Overwatch's North America East servers, and won a couple of
tournaments with my high school's eSports team. While I don't play as
seriously anymore and mainly use gaming as a way to spend time with
friends, my passion and drive to succeed has carried over to
programming.
