about

hello! I'm salmon, slightly above-average college student and okay video game player. this website collects everything I do online under my real-life identity

you might know me from:

ucsc splatoon

if you already know me from UCSC you probably know me from Slugs and Squids (aka the Splatoon part of Slug Gaming)

I'm currently a second-year pursuing a Computer Science B.S. degree, planning either to go into web dev (fun option) or IT (less fun option). I've also dabbled a little in game dev and cybersecurity.

go slugs!

classes you might see me in (winter 2026)

• AM 30 @ MWF
• CSE 40 @ TT
• CSE 101 @ TT

deer at Merrill College

I started playing Splatoon 3 at the start of 2023, introduced by a friend that used to be a very good comp player (thank you lexi)

you'll see me in series or X rank most of the time under salmon. if I'm locked in then I'll be on dread wringer!

I competed for UCSC in a few collegiate LANs when there wasn't a dedicated team for traveling. shoutout to IVC, CPP, and Cal

• splattershot / hero shot replica / order shot replica (~7 star)
