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 two summers as an intern at Google (hyperlink to their webpage), a web search engine company based in California. At Google in 2023 I worked on the internationalization (i18n) libraries team, working to make sure that our emerging and existing technologies are more accessible to people in other countries and speaking other languages. I implemented algorithms to the open-source ICU4X library to let dates be converted into other calendar systems. This past year (2024), I worked on modifying network behavior in containerized infrastructure for Fuchsia OS development.

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 August 2024, Jupiterp has received over 2,000 unique visitors after launching a few months ago!

I am also 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.
