About me
My name is Alex and I live on Vancouver Island with the love of my life Mika. Pronouns: he/him. I love computing, language, and history. You can find me on Github and LinkedIn as well.
School
I am working on my Bachelor's degree with Honours in Computer Science at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo. I'm in my third year of my degree, and have taken classes in Java and C++ programming, software engineering, computer architecture and networking, calculus and discrete math, among others.
Goals
Obtain a co-op. I am looking for work that will help me launch and grow my career. I apply to both software development and testing roles.
Work on my personal projects. I want to go deeper with web development, but also low level networking. After building an FTP client and server for my course in networking, I hope to write my own from what I learned and the RFCs.
Make open source contributions.
Continue intensive study of Chinese language. I've continued to do at least 20 minutes a day of flash card review, and can now read any given chapter from 小王子 or 大林小林 only occassionally checking the dictionary. I hope to start reading 荒岛机器人 eventually.
