I’m Joseph Liu, a second-year undergraduate student at the University of Waterloo double majoring in computer science and pure mathematics. I love to program in my free time, and have built and contributed to various projects over the years—more on those below. Aside from programming, I also enjoy reading, writing, math puzzles, and the occasional anime. Programming experience and projects Nowadays, I primarily work with Rust and Go on backend projects; however, I am comfortable working across the entire stack and have experience in Python, TypeScript, Swift, Java, and C++ among other technologies.
