About Me

Hi, my name is Ronald Prasad and I am a third-year Computer Engineering major specializing in system's programming at UCSC. I have always been interested in creating programs and the time it takes to create something meaningful from nothing but lines of code. Through my education, I have learned so much and using those skills in the future is incredibly exciting. A little fun fact about me is that I used to play the tenor saxophone and the bassoon.
