Hi, my name is Yi Ran Yin (commonly referred to as Adam) and I am currently a 4th Year Computer Software Engineering student at the University of British Columbia. Some of my hobbies and interests include: programming, computers, basketball, reading, violin and cooking. Currently, my goals are to graduate from school and secure an ideal software engineering position, making programs and deliver applications to users across the world.

  Due to my passion for software, I often find myself writing my own programs in my spare time. The variety of programs which I have written range from desktop software to mobile and web applications. I am deeply impassioned by being able to produce software which people can use and depend on, thus I strive to create programs for myself and those around me. My personal programs and projects are either linked in this page or found in my GitHub profile.

  As I got into web development, I came across the land of functional Javascript. Fascinated by the elegant/magical looking excerpts of functional Javascript code, I stumbled across Haskell and became mesmerized and enlightened by such a sophisticated style of programming. In addition to separating semantics and interpretation, being able to utilize abstract maths, in my opinion, brings programming to a new realm. Since then, I have been immersing myself in relevant theories such as Category Theory while also hacking in Haskell during my spare time. Ultimately, with the Curry Howard Isomorphism in mind, I strongly believe there is great potential for this style of programming.
