Meet Alex, a 21-year-old University of Waterloo student majoring in Computer Science. With a passion for coding and a side gig as a freelance animator, Alex spends evenings binge-watching anime to draw inspiration for their own projects. They delight in dissecting the opening sequences of their favorite shows, often getting lost in the vibrant visuals and catchy soundtracks. Outside of studies and animation, Alex hosts a weekly anime night for fellow students to discuss their latest obsessions and share recommendations.
