Hello. My name is Hashan Punchihewa. I am a first-year student, reading Computing at Imperial College London. Previously, I attended Westcliff High School for Boys from Year 7 to Year 13.

I wrote my first computer program on 21st July 2011, on the penultimate day of Year 7 in Visual Basic, which you can read here, a variation on the canonical “Hello World” program. Today, the languages I principally use are JavaScript, Java and Haskell, while my main interests are formal verification and machine learning.

Aside from my interest in Computing, I am an avid watcher of television. My favourite TV shows of all time are Game of Thrones, Friends, IT Crowd and Freaks and Geeks. I also watch anime, my favourites being Your Lie in April and Steins;Gate.
