Interests/Favorites
There are a wide variety of interest which I pursue in the time that I am not spending on my academic career.
Growing up I have always had a strong passion for cars. Below is a video from one of my favorite websites for the latest news and updates in the automotive industry.

I am also in an Asian Interest Fraternity, Delta Chi Psi Inc. This is an organization for which I dedicate a lot of my time. We were founded in 2004 on Temple University campus and since then have hosted many events and services all around the city of Philadelphia. Last semester we raised over $5000 to help support Japan after their natural disaster with the help of Alpha Sigma Rho Sorority Inc. I have held various positions, a few of which include Recruitment Chair and External Relations Chair.
Changing technology especially smart phones has always been another one of my passions. I had the first iPhone, 2g, and was interested in customization and learning how to use different tools to “jailbreak” and improve various aspects of the phone to my liking. After awhile i felt limited with what customization I could do and wanted to keep seeing what else i could learn. I switched over to an andriod phone and researched various techniques on “rooting” the phone by exploring xda-developers forum.
The last passion i have is art. I wasn’t too great at drawing so i explored graphic design. In high school to continue my interest i took a graphics design class and was given the task to design a new logo for pennsylvania municipal authorities association. I was a winner in the competition and was awarded $500. DeviantART is one of my favrite places to look at all different types of art, from sketches to photoshop graphics.
