About

Myself

A third year student currently pursuing Computer Science and Art Practice double major at University of California, Berkeley. Born in Budapest, Hungary, and moved to Beijing china with my family when I was 5, and came to the States at the age of 15 for high school. Coming form such a diverse background has not only made me multilingual but also multicultural. It gave me the opportunity to tackle a problem from different angles. That is one of the main reasons why I wanted to study such different fields academically. I believe that creativity is one of the most important factors in any field of expertise.
