> About

Hi! I'm a Computer Science undergraduate at HKUST. I am committed to building projects that are technically fascinating and socially meaningful, devoting myself to what I love and believe in. My interest lies in programming languages and compilers, software development, and system abstraction.

As a passionate developer, I strive to write concise, elegant and high-quality code, valuing well-structured and organized projects. I also enjoy contributing to open source communities in my free time.

While I embrace AI as a powerful tool, I choose not to let it fully replace the joy of coding. To me, code is a highly expressive language embedded with profound wisdom and philosophy, which makes programming an intellectual journey that I want to experience firsthand.

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

A passage that I 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!
