"I’m Nobody! Who are you? Are you Nobody too?" — Emily Dickinson

Hello! I'm Zairen, a 20-year-old IT student passionate about web technologies. I'm currently studying at the University of the Cordilleras and dream of working as a full-stack developer!

I was given the name Zairen, born on January 02, 2005, in Baguio City, Benguet, and never left. I have two siblings, Jan Carsten Sven and Shaireen Anne, both born on February 14 but with an 11-year gap and I am my parents' most humorous offspring and of course, the middle child. I have always questioned my parents for giving my siblings long names while I only have one, but I am grateful that I did not have to write such a long name on my papers every time. They said that they were planning to name me Ryzen because they thought I was going to be a boy and how funny it is that Ryzen is one of Advance Micro Devices' leading microprocessors and now I'm an IT student.

I chose this program because of the emerging and constant development of Information Technology. As a perfectionist myself, I wanted to improve my skills even further simultaneously with the current trends in technology. And my long-term goal is to be a software engineer or web developer.
