About Me

Who Am I?

Hi, I'm Tien. I'm a Computer Science MS student at Georgia Tech. I have been taking online courses on EDX, Coursera, Udemy and Udacity on a variety of topics on Computer Science. As I went to a liberal arts college, I had the chance to take courses that are outside of my majors at the time, which were Business and Psychology. My first computer science class was so instriguing that I decided to teach myself more about software developing. I hope to be able to use my coding skills to solve complicated problems and make the world a better place. In my free time, I like to play piano and ukulele, and practice yoga. I dream of traveling the world one day.
