Timothy Gu

Hi there! I'm Timothy. I'm currently a high-school student in Orange County, California, but I've done various work in programming over the years. I have a fairly good understanding of JavaScript, especially back-end applications à la Node.js, being the maintainer of several popular open-source packages like Pug (formerly "Jade") and Mocha. I don't do front-end stuff as much, but when I do I love working with React, Polymer, and Sass.

I know quite a few more "traditional" languages as well. I do some C and x86 assembly programming. I also know java from several classes in a local community college, and Perl from trying (and failing) to modernize a CGI web app.

Okay, I actually know a lot more than than these platforms that were mentioned. But before you fall asleep reading, I am also involved in several entrepreneurship efforts. I am the Director of Technology at the PIxEL Foundation as well as the PIxEL club at my school, which promotes entrepreneurship and computer science to high-schoolers around us. With a couple of my friends, our app Localpulse finished in the top 5 in the Microsoft Imagine Cup, in the United States in 2016. We were the only high-school team to accomplish this feat.

I am entering my senior year of high school, and with it comes college application. I am actively working towards attending institutions where my interests and passion in computer science can be further developed.
