Hi there! My name is Heng-Le, and I'm while I'm not stuck on my latest OCaml programming assignment, I'm preparing for an alternate career path by looking for dogs in my neighborhood to walk :). In all seriousness, I am passionate about using technology to solve problems and create innovative solutions. I'm also always seeking to learn and expand my skillset, whether through coursework or self-study Fun fact about me: I once broke my front tooth while chasing my pet schnauzer. So there you have it, a little bit about me in a nutshell. Hope you enjoyed getting to know me (even if it was just a tiny bit)!
