Hi, I'm Brandon Gong.

I'm a student, programmer, tennis amateur and terrible chef with side interests in mathematics & design.

about me

Hi, I'm Brandon! I'm a first-year student at Brown University with a passion for patterns and creating things with code.

I'm currently concentrating in computer science and working on some projects on the side. In my spare time, I enjoy practicing piano, playing chess with friends, and spending time with my dog.

If you would like to glance through my resume, you may download the file here. Thanks for reading!
