About Me

Erta Tema
πŸ‘€

I'm a passionate Computer Science major with a deep love for problem-solving and innovation.

I've spent my time as a Computer Science major building a strong foundation in software development and system design. I love the challenge of turning complex logic into something elegant and efficient. I am always exploring new tech to stay sharp, but I make sure to leave plenty of room for life outside the terminal.

When the laptop is closed, I am usually out chasing my next experience, whether it's exploring a hidden section in the city or hopping on a flight to the other side of the world. You can often find me on the volleyball court or in my kitchen trying to master the perfect matcha. I am also a huge reader and I am constantly on the hunt for my next great find, so check out my Book of the Month section to see what I am currently diving into. If you have a book that is a must-read, I would love to hear your recommendation.😊
