Trajectory
Life is not only about work. Charles has several overarching goals and direction in life:
He has deep desires to help developing countries. Having recently gone to a developing Middle Eastern country as a CS teacher, Charles has been deeply interested in teaching or introducing technological aid to other countries. He is looking more into how to better serve in this area.
His interests are anything that involves creativity. Concept art design, music composing, theoretical math, machine learning, and game programming all fall into this realm. For more hobby oriented discussion, please refer to the Programming Included Blog.
Livestreaming
Charles occasionally livestreams his own works in both programming for hobby related works and his non-programming related interests. The archives can be found under Youtube channel
