I'm Ace Chun.
I'm a high schooler passionate about
Welcome to my website.
I'm a student in the math, science, and computer science magnet at Montgomery Blair High School. My main interests lie in computer science, quantum computing, and generative art.
In my spare time, I like to participate in quizbowl/history bowl tournaments, play the violin, take photos, listen to a wide variety of music, and write about pretty much anything I find interesting.
Check out my generative artwork, blog, and projects!
