About Me

I’m David Rios, a junior pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science at Columbia University.


I enjoy stumbling upon new technologies and finding ways they can be used to create cool things.


Throughout middle and high school, I created various web apps and small games as my interest fluctuated between web and game development. I took a particular interest in web development coming out of high school because of its accessibility; I could make something once and package it on a website, desktop app, or mobile app.


Since then, I have been developing more comprehensive Electron Apps, Chrome Extensions, and Web Apps, learning how to create useful, minimalistic UI and clean code in the process.
