Hello there!

Welcome to my home on the World Wide Web! My name is Andrew, and I'm a student at the University of Maryland studying computer science and astronomy. Beyond that, I'm interested in learning about a variety of other things, including history, linguistics, religions, culture, and more. Most of all, I love yapping!

About me

As clear above, I am interested in CS, astrophysics, math, linguistics, history, and more. Apart from more academic interests, I also follow soccer (Tottenham), I bake bread, and am learning Korean. Here's bread:



I also like science fiction and fantasy books/movies, including the Lord of the Rings, Dune, and Interstellar.

I've lived in a lot of places! Here are some of the places I've lived:

Korea (Jeju)	New Mexico	Nevada	Maryland	California	Georgia

School.

I'm a computer science and astronomy student. Astronomy != astrology.

This year, I'm looking to learning more about computer networks and operating systems, as well as performing some astronomical observations using the UMD telescopes.

Work.

Professionally, I have worked for three summers as an intern at Google (hyperlink to their webpage), a web search engine company based in California. This year, I am working on the Gmail CSE (client-side encryption) team on internal server migrations. Last year I worked on experiments to modify network behavior in containerized infrastructure for Fuchsia OS development. In 2023, I worked on the internationalization libraries team to make our technologies more accessible to people in other countries and speaking other languages, specifically working on algorithms to convert dates in an open-source i18n library ICU4X to and from the Chinese and Korean lunar calendars.

Nonprofessionally, I am the creator of Jupiterp, an open-source website built to improve the process of planning course and section registration for fellow students at the University of Maryland. As of July 2025, Jupiterp has helped over 12,000 UMD students plan their courses!

I was also previously the Director of Partnerships at Startup Shell, a student-run non-profit organization dedicated to providing students who want to work on cool projects, small businesses, or startups with resources and a network to do so.

Before all this, I was a proud employee of Jersey Mike's Subs and Sandwiches. I recommend: #13 Original Italian, Mike's Way with the oil and vinegar on immediately after the lettuce (otherwise it splashes off the tomatoes), pickles, and banana peppers.
