\==============================/
WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?  WHAT WAS YOUR ACADEMIC PATH?

I'm from Westfield, which is in Central New Jersey. Some people will try to tell you that New Jersey can only be divided into North and South, but they're wrong.

I'm a rising Junior studying EECS. Before Berkeley, I went to the Union County Academy for Information Technology in Scotch Plains, NJ. 


HOW MUCH PROGRAMMING HAVE YOU DONE (& WHAT LANGUAGES)?

In high school classes, I was exposed to Python, SQL, and Java. Unfortunately, I did little to develop my skills aside from solve some Project Euler problems.

Aside from those I learned in my lower divs, I've read about and dabbled in Javascript. My favorite language is currently Python, but that changes month to month. Learning about assembly languages blew my mind because I knew one of my longtime favorite games, Rollercoaster Tycoon, was written entirely in x86. 

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?

Hiking/Camping
Climbing
Watching and discussing film, especially sci-fi
Super Smash Bros (mostly Project M, don't challenge me, I'm not all that good)
Stratego/Settlers of Catan/Poker/Mafia (aware that these aren't really all in the same category)
Intramural Softball

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR TALENTS AND SKILLS?

I'm skilled/lucky at guessing things (especially numbers, I love Fermi questions).

I think I'm good at Stratego, but it's hard to tell, since it's hard to find passionate opponents.

I can open many pistachios extremely quickly. 

I've been told that my personally mixed trail mix is excellent.


HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING REMARKABLE?  HAS ANYTHING MEMORABLE HAPPENED TO YOU?

1. Not yet 
2. Many memorable, yet unremarkable things
