A bit about me.
Hey, I'm Dilan, a software engineer and recently graduated from Northwestern
University, where I did my undergraduate studies in computer science. Now, I
work full time at Apple. I have a huge passion for quality software,
beautiful user interfaces, and automation. I've been coding for over 11
years, working on
projects
ranging anywhere from desktop and mobile applications to developer tools to websites
and web APIs to video games and game mods, many of which you'll find here on
my site.
