About Me
Hey! I'm Daryl, a sophomore at Carnegie Mellon University studying Electrical and Computer Engineering with an additional major in Engineering & Arts (Trombone Performance). I created this portfolio website to teach myself HTML/CSS/JS and to showcase some of the cool projects I've worked on and experiences I've had. Have a look around!
I am passionate about learning and gaining new experiences in all kinds of fields! I'm an avid explorer looking to understand and appreciate the world around us -- whether that be humans, computers, nature, or the laws of the universe that keep the world running. I'm particularly excited about computer science/engineering, machine learning, and computer architecture, and would love working in any of these areas. I also love finding interdisciplinary connections between fields, evidenced by my dual majors, multidisciplinary research endeavors, and passion for exploration. Check out the projects tab to see some fun things I've worked on!
In addition to my academic pursuits, I am a passionate trombonist, dedicating 10-20 hours/week to my musical pursuits. I've been playing the trombone since fifth grade and it has become a large part of my life. I play in various ensembles around Connecticut, and am also studying music seriously at CMU. See the music tab to learn more about my musical experiences!
Outside of school, I love to explore the outdoors and visit new places. I have played ice hockey since age 6 and enjoy skating to this day. As a former competetive chess player, I am also still an avid online player whenever I have the time. Additionally, I speak both Spanish and Mandarin Chinese at an intermediate level. Feel free to reach out!
