My name is Salwan Shathar, and I am currently a second year student at UC San Diego studying computer engineering.
My coding journey started out back in highschool on Java for AP Comp Sci. Ever since then, I have been interested in programming applications, and so I have picked up more programming languages along the way, including C, C++, C#, and ARM Assembly. I have also had some and continuing to build experience on game development using Unity. Through programming, I learned Einstein’s quote figuratively and quite literally:
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
With all these years of coding, I can sum up my daily schedule with this code snippet:
while(!onSchoolBreak)
{
eat();
code();
work();
// sleep();
}
I have lived almost half of my life in the US. I lived the other half in the Middle East, Iraq and Syria. Outside of academics, my main hobbies are:
For my life goals, I currently have (rather vaguely):
It is still a work-in-progress, but it will get completed with time and effort.
