About
What is it about me that makes me so cool?
I'm Kelvin Zhang. I'm currently 16 years old and attend Gleneagle Secondary in Coquitlam, BC. I have a keen interest in many fields of technology, but specialize in graphic design and programming. I spend a lot of my time freelancing, and have worked on multiple projects. At the moment, most of my experience comes from being a full-stack developer, as well as working with coding outside of web development.
Skills
My weapons of choice
Websites have always impressed me, but I only started learning the building blocks a year ago. Throughout my journey, I found web development to be a form of entertainment, and through constant practice, I am confident in my skills of a front-end developer. In the past few months, I've been honing my skills further by freelancing on the web, and have created many sites for others - some of which are listed below.
Java was the very first programming language that I picked up around 4 years ago. My interest for the language came from the popular sandbox game Minecraft, which led to me finish Stanford's CS101 course at the age of 11. After four years, I still consider Java to be my go-to language, and it is where I develop most of applications. I'm also experienced in Java game development, and have just started to make Android apps.
I've been working with Photoshop for as long as I could remember. I've designed multiple posters and advertising campaigns for school events and restaurants, and I work as a part-time freelancer online. I specialize in the field of UI/UX design and being a front-end developer.

Just some of my latest projects
GLITCH
A unique 2D Java platformer
GLITCH is a platformer game that I have been working on over the past few weeks. It's coded in vanilla Java without the use of any external libraries. Currently, the game is still in it's early development stages, and I'm planning on adding more to it when I get time.

NN Autopilot
A revolutionary and safer autopilot system
Awards won from:
The project aims to use a neural network to control a self-driving car, making it able to think like a human. The network was trained using a genetic algorithm inspired by biological evolution. Unlike current self-driving cars, the system was not taught anything and was able to go from having no knowledge about driving to becoming a fully-autonomous vehicle - learning and adapting by itself.
