Parmesan Linguine

CS student, backend developer, and not-so-great frontend dev

About me

Howdy, I'm Parmesan Linguine! I'm a (soon-to-be) CS student from Ontario, Canada. I spend most of my time writing code, playing music, playing video games, and wasting it watching YouTube videos. Hey, on the bright side, I've picked up a lot of trivia knowledge! It's not a total waste.

My love for programming started when young me found the command prompt on the family computer. I had for a long time been "tech-savvy" (in the sense that teachers would always me to fix their computers), but this was entirely new territory. I wrote some Batch scripts, mostly motivated by trying to hack the school computers, but these attempts proved unsuccessful. I moved on slowly, trying other languages like Scratch, but it wasn't until I released my first project that I really found my love for coding. It was the first time that my work was widely appreciated by others. That desire has kept me chugging along so far, and it's helped me learn so much both in the field of computer science as well as in general.

Nowadays, I mostly write backend software in C#. I like to constantly explore new ideas and try new things, so most of my projects get left in the bin after a couple of months. Unfortunately, as you might be able to tell by this website, I have very little experience in writing frontend software. Maybe if it didn't SUCK so much I'd do it more.

Other than programming, I enjoy both playing and writing music. I am currently teaching myself piano and electric guitar, as well as learning how to write music both in notation software and DAWs. I hope to one day release an entirely solo album, where everything is done by myself from writing to recording to mastering. Other than guitar and piano, I was in our school's concert and jazz bands where I was able to play clarinet, bassoon, and tenor saxophone.

Interests

Game Development

I've been playing video games since I learnt how to walk. More recently, I've began to appreciate how much work goes into creating them and have started to experiment with game engines, with the goal of creating my own games.

Programming Language Design

Having worked with a variety of languages, I've noticed the details that go into designing programming languages. I enjoy studying different languages to find their strengths and weaknesses, and have worked on writing some project languages.

Music

I listen to music at pretty much every waking moment, so it's safe to say it's a big part of my life. Playing music has given me another way to express myself, and I want to use it to share my stories with others.
