Hi, I'm Charles! I'm a student at UPenn majoring in Digital Media Design, a program combining computer science with computer graphics. I'm interested in graphics programming, making games, UI/UX, and building websites.

At school, I co-lead our game dev club UPGRADE and am a member of our SIGGRAPH chapter. I'm also on the creative team for PennApps, our collegiate hackathon. In the past I helped design TEDxPenn's annual conference theme.

In my free time I like running, making playlists, learning the bass guitar, and taking the SEPTA to explore Philly.
