unium

about me

I am unium, a high school student from Bihar, India. I started programming in late 2016/early 2017.

I mainly specialize in C, C++, and Java (which I learned through borrowed books), but I also use Kotlin, Lua, and web technologies.

I like to paint, box, wrestle, and lift. I play Minecraft and Thumper.

oh yeah also i have a cat :)
