This is a rough first draft of my personal website. As I continue gaining web development skills through self-paced learning and a variety of courses, I will update this page greatly.

About Me

Hi, I'm Lydia! I'm so happy you're here :)

I'm an incoming 2nd year Computer Science student with self-taught/independently-gained experience in Python, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, SQL and Java. So far, in university, I have further developed my Java skills, and outside of uni, I am working on gaining a full-stack web development qualification. I travel for continent-wide hackathons at least twice a year, and I have recently completed an insightful internship as a Data Intern at Kubrick Group; the first of its kind run by them.

When I'm not studying and/or coding, I love playing piano and saxophone, learning languages (Spanish and French), spending time with friends and watching reality TV.
