Programmer

About

I am a high school student from St John's College, Johannesburg. I started programming in grade 9, and since then it has become one of my passions and I have participated in quite a few contests since then. My interests include playing the piano and clarinet, competitive programming, and olympiad maths. Sometimes, I also contribute to FOSS initiatives like Apertium, especially during contests like the Google Code-In.
