Hello & Welcome!
About me
I'm Pedro. I'm a 19 year old Computer Science student. I enjoy learning about computers, programming them, and sometimes building them. I have dipped my toes into a variety of languages and projects, and consider myself quick to learn, but I have an affinity with C, Go, Python, and general webdev—be it React or plain HTML/CSS/JS.
Goals
I'm looking to study up on backend design this year, mostly with Go—In fact, I've started working on a very simple messenging app in Go! There's not much there yet, but maybe something will come out of it.
I would also like to get a job. With the state of the job market nowadays, it's seeming a little tough for little junior me, but I have faith... At the very least, I'd like to get a job as a TA at my college.
Personal life
Outside of tech, I also enjoy literature, drawing, and have an ardent passion for music. I really want to get more into film, but haven't yet.
Faves
- Books
- My favourite author is, by far, Thomas Pynchon. I read “Vineland” and “The Crying of Lot 49” love them dearly. Very excited to dive into “Gravity's Rainbow” this year!
- Music
- My favourite musicians are too numerous to count... but, right now, I'm really into Geese and Milton Nascimento
- Art
- I would like to have a favourite painter at some point. Please check back in a year!
- Film
- Well, again, I am not an avid movie watcher. Maybe Wes Anderson? Please check back in a year.
About this website
This website uses a “fork” of りき萌's HTML templating engine, which uses Lua to build static pages. It's sort of like an ad-hoc, Brazil-washed Hugo.
To be honest, this website is very hacked together... the little toy engine struggles to become a framework, and I'm looking forward to refactoring this later down the line (right now, I just need something I can jot down on—I can deal with the cruft...)
