Daniel Cui

Hi there! I'm a first year college student from the Bay Area, studying CS at UC Santa Barbara.

I enjoy creating [cool things] with code, [sketching], and making [pixel art]. Feel free to check out my work below!

Right now, I'm working on two-colors, a game to treat amblyopia. I'm also planning to make paperplane, a text editor/format for enjoyable writing, and tart, a simple project management tool. More on my GitHub!

Reach me at solunian@gmail.com or @solunian on Instagram or Discord.
