I'm a CS freshman at Cal Poly SLO who loves building tools that make developers' lives easier. Right now, I'm working on Fere, a macOS app that gives developers a live map of their local environment with zero config.
I got into CS because I like making things that actually help people in ways that I could not do by myself.
Looking to connect with other builders.
