Tim Dacalos

About

Hey everyone, my name is Tim. I'm a fourth-year Computer Science student at the University of California: Irvine, specializing in Systems and Software. I'm passionate about understanding how technology works at its core—from the hardware/software interface to building robust, high-performance systems.

I initially gravitated towards coding to help others, and my journey has led me to explore low-level programming, operating systems, and web development. I'm actively seeking summer internships to apply and expand these skills.

Outside of the computer, you'll find me indulging in J-RPGs and discussing the newest anime.
