Hi, I’m Kim, a Computer Science student at the University of Auckland. I am a person who truly love my university and I enjoy building things through coding. Using the knowledge I’ve gained here, I wanted to build an app to solve the inconveniences I experienced during my time at university. As I’m about to graduate, I’ll soon be leaving a place that has given me so many great memories. It honestly feels like just yesterday when I was being congratulated on getting into this university hahaha. University life is one of the most beautiful and vibrant times in life. I hope you make the most of it and enjoy every moment. I’ll always be cheering you on! Hope you have a great day xD
