> About

Hi! I'm a Computer Science undergraduate at HKUST. My interest lies in software development, system design and absctaction, programming languages, and theoretical computer science.

I enjoy coding and strive to write concise, elegant and high-quality code. I also value well-structured and organized projects. Besides, contributing to open-source projects takes up a significant portion of my spare time.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. ― Leonardo da Vinci
The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of. ― Blaise Pascal

A passage that I really love

>>> import this
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
― The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
