Hi, I'm Janet :] 

I’m a computer science and philosophy student at the University of Toronto, interested in systems programming and game design!

I was introduced to systems programming in my second year at UofT through a C and Unix course and a microprogramming course respectively. Though I want to be a software developer, I'd love to explore the intersection between code and hardware as well. I'm planning on building my first PC in the coming weeks (when this happens, I'll update you here).

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!
