Resume
Hi! my name is Tariq Williams and I am a senior at Kalamazoo College, where I am pursuing a double major in Mathematics and Economics , along with a minor in computer science.

About
Biography
I was fortunate to be born on the beautiful island of Jamaica , where I resided for 18 years of my life. Having received a prestigious scholarship, my journey took an exciting turn when I embarked on an educational adventure at Kalamazoo College in the United States. Now a graduate with a degree in Mathematics and Economics with a computer science minor , I am now looking to make the next step in my professional journey.
Beyond my academic pursuits, I have discovered a profound joy in expressing my creativity through graphic design and music. The fusion of colors, shapes, and ideas fuels my soul, allowing me to paint my imagination onto digital canvases. Whether crafting mesmerizing visuals or composing melodious tunes, I find solace in artistic expression.
Hobbies & Extracurriculars
Sports
Let me just start by saying that I bleed red, well, I know we all bleed red, but I bleed the Arsenal kind of red ! I'm an Arsenal fan through and through, and quite frankly, it wasn't a hard choice because Arsenal is simply the best club in the world. Outside of religiously stalking Arsenal and playing soccer, I watch basketball, American football, and recently, I've somehow found myself skiing.
Chess
Chess is one of my all-time favorite pastimes. I enjoyed playing it extensively as a child and reignited my passion at the end of 2020 after watching the renowned series "Queens Gambit." It has been a fulfilling journey, and I'm pleased to say that I am ranked in the top 2% of players in bullet chess (1 min), as well as the top 5% and top 10% in blitz and Rapid, respectively. I am always eager to play with new opponents, so if you happen to be on chess.com, feel free to challenge me! You can find me with the username tarblux12.
Music and Video Production
As a naturally creative person, I constantly seek new outlets to express my creativity. Music production and video production have become two of my favorite ways to bring my artistic vision to life. On my portfolio page, you can explore a selection of projects that I've had the pleasure of creating, showcasing my passion for blending sound and visuals into captivating experiences. I take immense pride in my ability to innovate and continuously explore fresh avenues for creative expression.
