Competing in a school band festival as a clarinetist
Editing books alongside designers and wordsmiths
Practicing with a friend for a piano duet recital1
…Reflecting on some of my fondest memories, I recognise a theme: immersive collaboration. Learning about software development with likeminded, passionate teachers and peers at iO Academy has given the same joy.
I have daydreamed in the past about becoming a professional clarinetist or author or — before arriving at iO Academy — an IC2 working on groundbreaking tech.
Nowadays, I find contentment in writing this3, listening to Schubert's piano music4, and committing to improving bit-by-bit as a software engineer for the rest of my life.
1The actual recital was nerve-wracking; I don't remember much about it.2This stands for "individual contributor".3Learning HTML, Tailwind CSS, Markdown, React, and now Next.js (for making this website) has unlocked a world of self-expression through writing.4Listen to an awesome recording of a Schubert impromptu here.
