Hello!
I'm Eric Luong.

Programmer and Aspiring Software Developer

I got started with programming by writing batch scripts for fun. It seems weird, and things happened. Now, I just finished studying Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine.

I like to solve problems, building things, and see ideas materialized through code. Here are those creations.
