Greeting! I am HOU
AUG 2003

Birth

August 9 2003, somewhere in Macao, a tiny boy that was born.

June 2009

Across the World

Some where around 2009, my parent decided to move to America for me. They wanted to give me more opportunities in life. ( God, I love my parents )

Dec 2014

My best friends

Skipping forward a few years, I'm in Ms. 88 - a horrible school in my honest opinion. I met My long lasting friend: Billy Yang, Jia Bin Li ( or Jeremy ), Yangfa Wu.

Sep 2017

High School at last

I was excited for my High school: Brooklyn Technical High School. It was a 'specialized' high school so I had high expectation for it. My best friends also passed into this school with flying color.

Sep 2019

Web development at last?

Like every good software engineer, I had my humble beginning in programming with a little known language: Javascript. It was unique; it stood out from all the classes I've taken. This is when I fell for programming.

July 2020

All-star Code

I went in into All-star code expecting nothing, but was pleasantly surprised. I learn to work with other people through Visual studio code and was introduce to Github for the first time in my life.

July 2021

Google Computer Science Summer Institute

Whilst I was dejected from getting declined to Google Code Next; I was delighted to have the opportunities to join Google CSSI. In this program, I was introduce to google Firebases and more github, specifically multi-user work flow using merges.

Sep 2021

Boston University

While being vastly under qualified, I was accepted and enroll into Boston University Computer Science Bachelor of Arts program.

Present

CodePath Technical Interview prep course

To be honest, I don't even know how I got in. Looking through the requirements, I have met only one of them and that was "having taken one computer science course." Anyhow, I'm extremely grateful for this opportunity.

My Projects

Precaution

It started as a joke during the last week of All-Star code. Me and my friends ( Jeremy and Yangfa ) recreate my poorly made website and called it Precaution this time. The aim was to raise awareness and educate people regarding of current scams.

Peer-fit

Peer-fit was a social media app we create for fitness during the last week of google CSSI. It wasn't anything impress or big, but we did implement, or at least attempt to, Firebase.

Pixel Simulation ( Redoing Soon )

While the simulation last time worked, it was way to slow for my liking. This time I hope to implement multi-threading and more natural looking pixels.

Minesweeper ( Starting )

I wanted to not only use Object Orientated programming in this project. I want to use declarative or rather a combination of OOP and FP, with Java streams, to achieve my Minesweeper.

Conway's game of life ( Starting soon )

Cellular automata is a wonderful concept. The most famous perhaps is Conway's game of life. Following a set instruction would yield fascinating combination of patterns that resembles life.

2048 ( Staring Soon )

What can I say? It's the old and class, I never made it past 512, so I'm making it in spite of it.

Unity C# Game ( Starting Soon )

I've always admire game developers, so this time, I plan to create a game, as small or as bad as it may be.

BTHs Website from CSV

Using information that was parsed into CSV, I create a website for school. It's crude, but it was my first attempt with jquery instead of Villain Javascript. I also tried Python graphing with Matplotlib.

Information formatter ( Starting Soon )

Using react, I hope to create a Information, or rather more concisely, MLA or Formatter.

Personal Website Update Version ( Starting Not soon c: )

I want to make this website more unique. Not just in term of animation. I want parallax scrolling effect even if it will take eons. Or create a website that is like a video game using Three.js
