About
I'm Christa and this is my blog! I'm a full-stack developer based in Oulu, Finland, with a B.S. in Mathematics from UCLA and a background in Python, TypeScript, and C++. Outside of work I spend a lot of time tinkering with low-level stuff like graphics programming and audio synthesis (did you know you can construct a .wav file just by writing frequency data to a buffer?) Mostly self-taught, mostly for fun. I'm drawn to constrained environments where you have to be clever about resources.
