Hey, I'm a SUMO contributor and KB writer at Mozilla. I am a competitive programmer, fencer, contributor of all sorts, vintage lover, and a very curious person without showing it. Freshman at Texas Tech High School.
My Story
I started programming since I was 9 initially programming on the Lego EV3 Mindstorms but I really started taking coding seriously at 13 because of the fact that I could really do something with my code (solving mathematical problems, making mindbending graphs, etc.) and not just making a robot move here and there. I’ve never felt so intrigued about programming, algorithms, and data structures but all of a sudden my light bulb in my head just turned on! I felt programming was meaniful and that’s the story on how I started competitve programming.
