About Me
Hey! I'm Karen, a Computing and Software Systems student at the University of Melbourne. I spend most of my free time building projects I actually want to use — like a study tracker to keep myself accountable, or a journaling app that helps me understand my own thoughts better. I'm really interested in AI and how it can make tools feel more intuitive, but I also care a lot about making things that look good and feel nice to use. I think the best projects happen when you're solving a problem you've actually experienced yourself.
