I doubt I will win, but I just want to see what participating feels like. + +Never really knew what I wanted to do until my first day of Freshman year, when I walked into Computer Science class Period 1. +Hello World in Java seemed magical to me, and I knew exactly what I wanted to do when I "grew up". +Since then, I've tried to learn as much as I can, as fast I can. +I found myself overreaching at one point, trying to become a coding polyglot- I was trying to learn 3 or more languages at once, which did not work. So I focused on learning a few things, and learning them well. + +And I got an internship at an informatics lab! + +Skills/Experience +================ +Javascript, Java, HTML/CSS. +D3.js, Node, Sails. + +I want to make an interactive website to explain and visualize the severity of Global Warming with interactive charts of all shapes and sizes. +Obviously, I'd use d3.js for that. +Another cool idea would be a way for people to highlight the most important parts of a legal document for users to read and then some sort of game to make sure people read those sentences, at least.
