About Me

Profile picture of Tae at the beach during sunset

As a Full Stack Developer pursuing Applied Mathematics and Electrical Engineering at UC San Diego, I bring a unique interdisciplinary perspective to software development. My passion for understanding complex systems and solving intricate problems drives me to create elegant, efficient, and user-centered web applications and games.

With experience in both web development and game programming, I've honed my skills in modern JavaScript frameworks, C++, and game engines like Unity and Unreal. My background in physics and mathematics enables me to approach problems analytically while my engineering studies provide practical implementation skills. I'm committed to writing clean, maintainable code and thrive in collaborative environments where I can continuously learn and adapt to new technologies.

Towers of Hanoi

This project is a coded simulation of the classic Towers of Hanoi puzzle. It demonstrates how recursion can be used to solve a complex problem by breaking it down into smaller steps. The program moves a series of disks between pegs following the puzzle’s rules, showing the logical process and efficiency of recursive algorithms.
