I’m a second-year-ish CS student who loves figuring out how things work under the hood. Most of my happiest hours are spent untangling a tricky problem, shipping a small feature, or helping someone else get their first pull request merged.
I lean toward projects with a purpose: assistive technology, sustainable engineering and tools that make learning computer science a little kinder.
