About me

Welcome to my digital sanctum! I'm your host, Calvin Yan. I grew up in the Bay Area as a first-generation Chinese-American and am working towards my computer science degree in the University of California, Berkeley's College of Letters and Sciences. If you're here to learn more about me as a software developer, you should know that I've been engaging with CS in some form or another since I was a wee sixth grader. Since then, I've written flash games, computer vision applications, machine learning classifiers, and algorithms for computing olympiad problem sets, and am beyond excited to put the seven years of programming experience I've accrued to use in an industry setting. If not, you may want to know that some of my hobbies include pen spinning, journaling, trying and failing to motivate myself to pick up the vibraphone, scheduled naps, playing Stardew Valley, and devising ways to prevent Uniqlo from capturing 100 percent of the market that is my wardrobe.
