somewhere to talk about random ideas and projects like everyone else

stuff by antimatter15

Hi. I’m Kevin Kwok, and I’m currently a junior at MIT, and this is my obligatory online presence or whatever.

This is my little corner of the internet, where I talk about random projects and ideas and stuff.

If you want to contact me or read obnoxiously nostalgic autobiographical trivia, check out the about section.
