Games only render what you look at when you look at it, as the compute load would otherwise be impossibly high. Until observed, objects are a probability function, aka quantum mechanics. https://t.co/LbI7dRNM9f

If life is a video game, the graphics are great, but the plot is confusing & the tutorial is way too long

Yesterday, I met the sweetest people @TwitterDublin from the #OneTweetCV event.

Huge thank you to @SophieODwyer9 and @EimearAOC for being such amazing hosts and helping, along with @Latchy23, plan such an incredible event.

One more day and I’m flying down to #dublin to visit @TwitterDublin on Friday! ❤️

[Lora Ma @lorama0]

Super exciting news! In two weeks I am travelling all the way to Dublin to visit @TwitterDublin because of my application to #OneTweetCV! 🥰❤️

I’ve never experienced the power of Unity until now and I think game developers are underrated. While some people may say that it’s “just a game”, it, like many other inventions or programs, can impact so many people around the world. #unity #games #accessibility #developer

Recently, I went to a 48h game jam where the theme was accessibility in gaming. Imagine hearing children in wheelchairs telling you that all they’ve ever wanted to do is to play a game

In Unity, I built Kirby Pop - similar to Angry Birds but played with simply your brain ❤️

[Lora Ma @lorama0]

I am proud of my first game jam and Unity experience. I was able to learn about a side of accessibility that I haven’t seen before and hope that even children who are severely paralyzed can experience playing my game. I hope it brings many moments of joy into their lives❤️😊

[Lora Ma @lorama0]

For me, coding, project design and technology in general are tools that I use to express myself creatively - it's my escape. As years pass, I hope to nurture and add to these tools in my toolbelt, so I can more easily translate ideas from my head into reality. 🔨

[Lora Ma @lorama0]

Hello Twitter. This is all about me and what I did this past year! As someone so passionate about technology, I would love to learn more about Twitter. I hope I get the chance to meet all of you amazing people @TwitterDublin!

Because of my interest in hardware, I've tried to use my software skills to dabble in hardware. From this I've built a Smart Mirror, using a Raspberry PI. Here is a photo!

Currently, it displays the weather, date, calendar and other cool stuff!

[Lora Ma @lorama0]

I am in love with learning about all the different aspects of technology. Because of this, I am currently building a game in Unity! Here's a sneak peak of the setting :)

My newest adventure is being a co-founder of a startup in San Francisco called Yugipal! We are a card collecting app that allows people to share, buy and sell cards.

I mainly focus on the front-end development of the app and website. We are 500 beta testers strong!

[Lora Ma @lorama0]

Hack the North, a hackathon held in Waterloo, Ontario (near Toronto), flew me out to attend! ✈️ I am grateful for this opportunity! ♥️

I built an app that helps shoppers be informed of what the average cost/lowest cost of grocery items are in their area and where to get them!

[Lora Ma @lorama0]

At the Telus hackathon, I built an Amazon Alexa skill that uses reinforcement learning techniques to help people recovering from depression track their mood and have someone to talk to! #firstplace

Favourite pastime: reading by the sunset. There’s always something to learn from someone else :)
