Hi there!
I'm Ryosuke Minami.
I'm currently studying computer science and philosophy.
I spend my days reading, coding, and traveling whenever I have the chance.
Travel
As a child of Japanese parents growing up in the United States, multiculturalism has played a large role in shaping who I am.
To this day, I am fascinated by unfamiliar cultures and enjoy witnessing the effects that these cultures have in shaping the lived experiences of people around the globe.
Computer Science
My first foray into computer science was in 4th grade, when I started programming for Lego robotics projects in a language called NQC.
Although mathematics captured my attention in the years that followed, I found myself pulled back to the discipline and have been pursuing a degree in computer science for the past three years.
