“Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.”
— Edsger Dijkstra
My name is Tristan Malone and I'm an aspiring application developer. I've spent the last five years honing the skills that will make me the top of my field, networking and learning from the brilliant minds of both the past and future, and fanning a flame of passion for computer science that's been burning since I was but a lad in high school. I live to create and I take great pride in my work. I've spent the entirety of my adult life cultivating an ability to fix problems with beautiful, efficient solutions. Once I discovered the limitlessness and scalability of using technology to solve said problems, a bud was planted that, try as I might, simply couldn't be nipped.
Of course, there's more to me than my career. I have many passions outside of school as well. Music is a huge part of my life. I love to sing, play lead, rhythm, and bass guitar, and I dabble on the drums. My favorite passtime is watching anime / reading manga. I know, what a nerd. But I believe these mediums have inspired much of my creative side, which finds its way into most of my work and, in my opinion, often acts as the cherry on top of my projects.
This website acts as more than just a folder of things that I've worked on over the years. It's full purpose is to also give any visitors an idea of who I am, the process for how I tackle any task laid in front of me, and how I analyze those projects in order to keep getting better.
