Hi, I'm Callum!

Why the fire animation you ask?
In my chemistry class we recently were learning about entropy and I think a beautiful example of entropy is blackbody radiation. Blackbody radiation is the electromagnetic radiation that every atom always emits based on its temperature--it's the reason thermal cameras work and the reason molten metal glows white hot. It turns out you can calculate the blackbody spectrum using the Planck formula, so I got to work doing that. My website has no colors defined in it. I've defined every color as a temperature, and what you are seeing is the calculation of what the color of an object in real life would be at that temperature. Here's a little slider so you can play around with it yourself:

I'm a student at the University of Washington intending to major in neuroscience. Other than neuroscience, am interested in software development, scientific computing, and biochemistry. I have the most experience programming in Python and JavaScript.

Professionally, I've worked as an Machine Learning Engineer at GoGymi for two years, where I developed educational models to help students in Switzerland prepare for their Gymnasium entrance exams. Previously, I worked as a freelance developer at JCWYT, building a comedic Discord bot that was in over 800 Discord servers. Beyond code, I've designed and 3D-printed models of proteins for the Pacific Northwest Research Institute.

Outside of STEM, I enjoy my time as a Volunteer Crisis Counselor for the Crisis Text Line and play the bassoon. I also am proficient in French and taking German. When I'm not doing these things, you'll find me drinking coffee and learning to pour latte art. Why is my website orange?
