Hi. I'm Youwen. My foremost passion is writing - code, math, and words. I strive for
elegant code, beautiful math, and authentic prose.

I generally spend at least half of my time theorizing about abstract vapid nonsense in
mathematics and equally useless nonsense in computing.
</p>
<p class="text-xl leading-relaxed">
The rest of my time is spent pursuing more fruitful endeavors such as writing software
and spending an inordinate amount of time optimizing my systems.
</p>
<p class="text-xl leading-relaxed">
I'm deeply committed to the craft of software engineering. In fact I am constantly
analyzing and predicting the latest trends of the industry so that I can do the exact
opposite.

I learned how to code when I was in 3rd grade (around 8-9 years old). Regrettably, I am
not a gifted genius and did not build a massive open source empire nor did I found a
startup before the age of 12. My projects consisted principally of crummy games or
terrible websites. My biggest regret is spending the pandemic lockdown learning React
and web development in 2020 instead of becoming a cool kernel hacker or something.
</p>
<p class="text-xl leading-relaxed">
Nowadays, my personal projects primarily consist of tools to make life easier. My
academic interest is in exploring how we can improve the reliability of computer
programs through formal mathematical methods - namely, the correspondence between
programs, proofs, and categories.

Most people I know in real life think that I am some kind of hacker - likely because
they once saw me open up a text terminal and update my packages with <code>pacman</code
>. I proclaim myself a hacker because I once learned how to create shoddy CRUD web
applications with fad web technologies and believe that places me in the same group as
Torvalds and the other hackers who build actual software.

I learn about math I find interesting as a hobby. I also happen to be pursuing it an
undergraduate degree in it, soon.

I tried doing math competitions in middle and early high school before I realized that
it wasn't for me (that's my way of saying that I couldn't hope to compete with the
prodigies). Still, I wholly recommend that anyone who likes math take a look at <a

class="link">The Art of Problem Solving</a

more valuable than a shallow familiarity with formulas or integration methods.

I'm generally very particular about how I use my computer and the software that runs on it. I
don't always configure my tools in the most "user-friendly" way, but rather the most efficient
