About the Creator

Hello hello! (￣▽￣)ノ¹²

Lómenoirë is one of my names—I’m also known as Leon Lu, Liang, or perhaps the username chaosarium.

I’m a second-year undergraduate student at CMU majoring in Computer Science. I find theoretical computer science interesting, writing code that works satisfying, and debugging mostly fun. I TA for 15-150 Functional Programming. I do NLP research in Python and web stuff with JavaScript or Svelte, but I hope one day I can do more things in Rust or a functional language.

For a less random about page, maybe CV works better.

In my free time I love making coffee and working on creative projects³.

Perhaps a student seeking to understand how things work, perhaps an aspiring polymath on an intellectual quest, or perhaps a mere observer contemplating the universe as it unfolds.

Imbue life with meaning.

Seek knowledge to enrich the mind; always remain curious, humble, and receptive.

Confine not to a domain of comfort and preoccupy not by a singular path; embrace the unknown, and be ready to learn wherever and whenever.

Beware of assumptions, challenge the status quo, break the rules, and strive to make things better.

Fret not of aimlessness; take time to journey without a clear-cut destination; make connections, and experience the serendipitous discoveries.

Create, create beyond the self, and create the freedom to create.

Appreciate the beauty of nature, be guided by nature, and pursue nature’s wonders.

Let the mind be of tranquil water.

Execute commitments with utmost dedication.

Be glad to be part of the universe’s algorithm.

Do cool things, and, if necessary, make boring things cool.

Always write type annotations.

I type using Colemak, use chopsticks with both hands, enjoy writing with fountain pens, build and use cardboard furnitures, prefer tactile switches, and want no sleep as my superpower.
