04 / About me
I like understanding how things work. Then I usually try to build it.
I'm Yuan, also known as Yuzy, a 15-year-old student, software engineer, researcher, and huge STEM and HASS nerd from the Philippines. If it piques my interest, consider it next on the list. Quite literally. From math, biology, history, politics, philosophy, and whatever else my brain finds interesting.
Most of what I know and built came from chasing questions too far and an overly incessant obsession with the craft. I read, prototype, benchmark, break stuff, rewrite them, then ship them. Possibly. Started with Scratch at five years old.

Curiosity first
If something's interesting enough, I'll probably end up becoming disgustingly educated about the topic and waste hours of waking time on it.
- 02
Measure, don't guess
I always apply this one to my projects - and to myself to some extent. Benchmarks, tests, and real empirical evidence beats vibes.

Obsession over obligation
Keep learning and keep building shit. If you do it for the love of the game, the bonus on top of it is just the pay. Don't burn out though!
