Hi, I'm Max

You might know me by my online handles pingu or square.

Here's a little bit about me, alongside some handpicked recents :)

Say hello!

max.sun@uwaterloo.ca

Born and raised in Toronto,

I'm a huge Leafs fan—even though they haven't won a Stanley Cup since 1967. Here's to hoping they win one before I graduate...

My Education.

I'm currently studying Computing and Financial Management at the University of Waterloo.

In high school I was part of the MaCS program at William Lyon Mackenzie CI.

It started with competition...

I got into computer science from writing competitive programming contests with my high school friends.

Nowadays, I'm more interested in building projects and learning about the techniques behind creating software and systems.

“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

A quote from Steve Jobs.

To me, good design is about simplicity, clarity, and elegance. I think all three of those qualities are important to good software.

In my spare time,

I'm working on personal projects, watching sports, cooking, or playing chess.

You can also catch me listening to Cigarettes After Sex, Mac DeMarco, Passenger, or Zach Bryan.
