About Me

Hey! I'm Evelyn. Currently, I'm a graduate student attending the University of North Carolina at Charlotte pursuing a degree in Computer Science with a specialization in AI, Robotics, and Gaming. I've always been fascinated by how technology intertwines logic, imagination, and creativity, and I love brainstorming on how to make ideas interactive and engaging.

My side projects and learning experience have exposed me to a variety of fields of development, from creating web apps to some experimentation with AI and game development. I like fixing problems, creating stuff that is intuitive and easy to use, and learning about new technologies that make me think differently.

When I'm not coding, I generally engaging in whatever gets me in a good mood: playing video games, watching anime, or exploring new locations/activities in town. I enjoy reading fantasy novels that transport me into other worlds, riding my motorcycle down scenic routes, and hanging out with my cat, who's normally overseeing whatever I'm doing.

I find comfort in nature, whether that's hiking in the mountains or hanging out on the beach. These precious moments help me reset, reflect and find inspiration for whatever project I work on next. I think balance (focus and play, structure and spontaneity) is a huge factor in staying grounded and creative.

At the center of all that I do, or I guess you can say my core, is curiosity and connection — curiosity to continue to learn and discover, and connection to create experiences that resonate with people. I am always looking for opportunities to learn, work together, and create something of value, even if it begins small the end result can always make a huge difference.

Thanks for visiting my portfolio and taking a moment to learn a bit about me! Feel free to explore my work, share your thoughts, or reach out. I'm always open to meeting new people, hearing varying ideas, and talking about things that inspire us.
