Peter Kim

Hey, welcome to my page.

This is Peter Kim, an Electrical Engineering student at the University of British Columbia. Most of my days are spent analyzing circuits and experimenting with microcontrollers.

When I'm free, I enjoy watching movies, taking long walks, and studying investments!
