Software Engineer
Art of Problem Solving

Hi! :) I'm Tim, currently a 4th-year computer science student at the University of California, San Diego. (Before coming to SD, I went to Gunn High School and Foothill College, a community college in the San Francisco Bay Area.)

My programming-related interests include performance optimization, compilers, computer graphics, game-playing AIs (e.g., chess engines), and web development. My other interests include piano, trumpet, music theory and composition, photography, volunteering, and (usually non-fiction) writing. I also like cows, but I have not yet milked one. :(

I'm a web developer at an education company called Art of Problem Solving, where I helped develop their computer science program. I am also a member of the Crusaders of Rust CTF team, where I help write challenges.

I generally use the moniker "anematode" in programming contexts and "forevermilk" in others; neither names have any particular significance, but unfortunately, the former is terrible for SEO.
