Hi, I’m Yifei. I hope you enjoy using my esoteric creations or viewing my desultory ramblings.

I am currently a sophomore at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Passionate about programming and DIY spirits, I plan to make this blog a collection of my projects and ideas in computer science and electronic engineering. Occasionally I will post some music arrangements as well.

I believe the value of engineering lies not within theoretical constructs, but in its ability to solve pressing societal concerns. I wish to add an extra degree of “social awareness” to engineering in the future.
