Hi, I'm Kentrie.

A Software Engineer

This website is a collection of my projects and passions across many areas.

About Me

I was born and raised in the suburbs of Orlando, FL as an only child to two immigrant parents from Vietnam and the Dominican Republic. I have always been passionate about both STEM and the arts. I would describe myself as an open-minded, friendly, and optimistic person.

As a Computer Science graduate from Columbia University, I combine technical expertise with creative passion. My journey in tech is driven by curiosity and a love for problem-solving. Beyond coding, I express myself through art and music, believing that creativity and logic aren't opposites—they're complementary forces that fuel innovation.

When I'm not coding new projects or exploring the latest tech trends, you'll find me painting, producing music, or taking a hip-hop dance class. I'm always excited to connect with fellow creators and innovators!

Coding Projects

I first learned to code freshman year of high school, and I fell in love with it! Here are a few of the projects I've worked on throughout college, ranging from web development (my favorite!) to AI applications. Click on each to see my GitHub code or active website.

Art Gallery

I've been creating physical art pieces since middle school! Here is a collection of a few of my visual art pieces exploring color, form, and creative expression across various mediums. More pieces coming soon!

My Music

My passion for listening to and creating music flourished when I did choir and band in elementary and middle school. I took a music production class at Columbia, and now I can't get away from Logic Pro (rip GarageBand). Stay tuned for upcoming songs I sing and produce!
