About me

Hello there! I'm Lam Yoke Yu, a undergraduate student currently pursuing Computer Science (Data Engineering) at University of Technology Malaysia. In my free time, I like to watch variety shows and read novels.

Technologies I've been working with recently:

Academics

Undergraduate Studies

Year 1 Semester 1

Digital Logic

I really enjoy this subject, dealing with the circuits are so much fun. The simple basic gates can be combined to create various amazing stuffs such as adders, comparators, decoders, encoders, counters and so much more. I would be happy to explore more about the workings behind these integrated circuits.

I am especially impressed by the invention of lateches and flip-flops. The design of feedback of the output to the input, enables them to store memory, laying the foundation for the computers we have today!

Discrete Structure

I really like this subject, particularly graph theory and finite automata. Djikstra's Shortest Path Algorithm reminds me of the Travelling Salesman Problem that I came across previously. Although the Djikstra's Algorithm is not directly applicable to the Travelling Salesman Problem (as it is a Hamiltonian Circuit), I am fascinated by the elegance of the algorithm.

The final chapter of the course is equally captivating, focusing on Deterministic Finite Automata and Finite State Machines. It is just like the state diagram that we studied in Digital Logic, making the connections between different areas of study within the broader field of computer science apparent.

I am intrigued by how these discrete structures and algorithms have practical applications in problem -solving and computational processes. I am looking forward to explore more in the future!

Programming Techniques 1

I great joy in the programming process. Producing a program that can help to simplify work is so much fun. Beyond the assignments we tackle in class, , I've also wrote some programs for stuffs that interest me. Some of these projects are housed in the random-projects repository , while others may not be—feel free to check them out!

Technology and Information System

While the course content leans towards the theoretical side, which initially a tiny bit boring for me, I was delighted to be exposed to various fields and things in the world of computing, when I carefully study the course materials.

What particularly excites me are the talks and visits organized as part of the course. These experiences provide invaluable insights into the practical applications of the theoretical concepts we study. They not only help us envision our future in the field but also offer the opportunity to better prepare ourselves for the dynamic and evolving landscape of technology.

Integrity and anticorruption

With the discussions on integrity I get to understand the importance of integrity. We should never ever do things that violates integrity even though it would bring benefit to us.
