History about me

I have been interested in electronics since I was young. I enjoyed playing around with circuits to make radio receivers and transmitters. I started learning C++ when I was in my early teens. When I was 14 I started designing digital circuits in a digital logic simulator. I designed an ALU, CPU, and my own instruction set. Around this same time I learned python which I soon fell in love with. I have been exploring the world of software ever since.
