Hi, I'm Toan 👋

Computer Science grad trying to bridge the gap between academia and real-world software engineering experience.

This repository is my personal knowledge base.

About Me

• CS background that slacked off in college, now trying to catch up.
• Pretty confident in Data Structures and Algorithm.
• I enjoy beautiful UI/UX, not a fan of creating them.
