Portrait of Ian Young

Hello there!

I'm Ian! A student, athlete, and software engineer.

Most of my time these days is spent either schooling or working, but when I'm not doing that you can find me out on a run, playing the piano, or just enjoying my time with friends.

From my abecedarium

Abstraction

Python is built on C, which is built on ASM, which runs on CPUs, which are built on formal logic, which is implemented with transistors, which only work because electricity, which is just... anyway. To me, the word abstraction is about appreciating that the things I do are only possible because of the hard work of many others before me.
