Hi! My name is Alice, or Jin Hao in chinese.
I am a 19 year old Singaporean passionate about computer science, particularly Cybersecurity and Web Development. Currently, I am pursuing my Bachelor of Computing at Nanyang Technological University as a First-Year student.
I particularly enjoy building tools that aid one's quality of life. Simple things such as automation scripts or UI changes for webpages, as well as cute tools like desktop pets and aesthetic UI modifications. Of course, I am no stranger to professional work, having worked on my fair share of large projects in web development and game development.
Besides software development, my passion also lies in linguistics, as well as language in a broader sense. I can speak three languages, English, Chinese, and Japanese. I also frequently take up translation work to practice my skills, and you can find some of my work on platforms such as mangadex.
In my free time, I do have hobbies aside from work! I love playing games, mainly strategic turn based games and fighting games.
Some Notable Skills:
- Stenography! I picked up stenography around 2 years ago, and it has been an incredibly rewarding skill to have. Apart from being something that I believe is truly unique, it has a practical impact on my day to day life, allowing me to type long essays or hammer out content at a much faster pace. (In theory) My average Steno WPM is 198, and I will probably stop actively practicing once I get to around 240. For comparison, my normal WPM is around 115.
- Singapore Lingusitics Olympiad Medalist!
