Hi, I'm Janet

I’m a computer science and philosophy student at the University of Toronto. The combination of the double major allows my passions to split in two directions: with computers, to create and innovate, and with philosophy, to explore the backrooms of life. I was introduced to computer science in the tenth grade, and I found that I enjoyed the way the logic flowed through my head. I later found out that computer science was the doorway to creating all sorts of exciting and cool things, and I was sold.

Thus far I have created a few simple games with Python, Java, and C#, and I’ve developed a few websites both for myself and professionally. I love mixing in art with what I’m creating, and I design/draw all the sprites for the games I make, and take great joy in designing the websites I make too. The background of this website was drawn by me—click the upper right hand button to switch back and forth in dark mode!
