I'm Ryan — currently a second-year undergraduate at SUTD, mostly interested in low-level systems, network infrastructure, and figuring out how things break. I like building projects that aren't always useful but teach me something along the way. Oh and besides projects I absolutely love problem solving.
My major interests lie mostly in computer algorithms (especially graphs), systems, networking, infrastructure, cybersecurity and software development. I love how cool computers are and programming in general, though frontend and UI still feel like a necessary evil to me.
I spend a lot of time figuring out algorithms using C, spinning up self-hosted services in docker, debugging config files, and reading and testing documentation I probably wasn't meant to. Most of what I’ve learned didn’t come from a course — just a lot of late nights and putting back together broken containers.
Outside of the technical side, I enjoy philosophy, anime/manga/light novels, and collecting ideas that don’t shout. I try to read widely, and sometimes that shapes the way I code (or the way I stop coding and rethink things).
