I'm William, a second year undergraduate Advanced Computing (Research and
Development) student at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra.
I love trying new things and pushing myself to the extreme and take great pleasure in all my
endeavours and interests - programming, music, photography, web & graphics design just to
name a few!
Thank you visiting my website and I hope you have a great day.
- William
I was introduced to programming early in high school, and ever since then I've
been hooked.
In 2015, I founded and organised the first civic hackathon in New Zealand,
hackEdu, for high school students.
I view programming as both a hobby, and a way to help others, and so would love to see more students in
New Zealand pick up computer science!
I love music. Over my time at high school, I took part in many concert bands and jazz bands where I
played the Alto Saxophone. I've also completed my ABRSM Grade 8 Saxophone with high distinction and
Grade 8 Piano with merit.
Music, for me is intrinsically and inherently stimulating, and provides me the comfort I need in
stressful situations.
I enjoy the contrasting artistic and technical sides of photography, and am always on the
lookout for the perfect locations to snap some great pieces.
I also love good design, and have done my fair share of graphics design work for myself and others.
