My Journey as a Computer Science Student

Hello! My name is Chong Wing Yeng, and I am currently studying Computer Science.

I created this blog to document my learning journey, share my projects, and record the challenges and lessons I encounter while studying software development.

My Areas of Interest

Computer Science covers many different fields. At the moment, I am particularly interested in:

  • Web development
  • Data science
  • Computer vision
  • Artificial intelligence
  • XR and VR development
  • Software development

I enjoy learning how different technologies can be combined to create practical and interactive systems.

Technologies I Am Learning

I am currently learning and using the following technologies:

  • HTML
  • PHP
  • MySQL and SQL
  • Python
  • C++
  • OpenCV
  • Unity
  • C#
  • XR and VR development
  • Git and GitHub

I am still developing my skills, so this blog will also serve as a record of my progress.

My Current Projects
PHP and MySQL Web Application

I am working on a web-based system using PHP, MySQL, SQL, and HTML.

Through this project, I am learning how to:

  • Connect a website to a database
  • Store and retrieve information
  • Create user-oriented functions
  • Develop CRUD operations
  • Manage sessions and authentication
  • OpenCV Traffic Sign Recognition System

This project focuses on detecting and recognising traffic signs from road images.

The system uses image-processing techniques such as:

  • Colour-space conversion
  • Colour segmentation
  • Morphological processing
  • Contour detection
  • Shape checking

This project has helped me understand how computer vision systems process images and identify important objects.

*AI-Assisted XR Stress Management System
*

I am also exploring the development of an XR-based stress-management learning system.

The proposed system combines immersive environments with AI-assisted guidance. It may include activities such as breathing exercises, mindfulness sessions, relaxing audio, and personalised recommendations.

Through this project, I hope to improve my knowledge of Unity, C#, XR development, user interaction, and artificial intelligence.

Data Science Project

My data science work involves analysing datasets using Python.

The main tasks include:

  • Data cleaning
  • Data preprocessing
  • Exploratory data analysis
  • Data visualisation
  • Interpreting results

This allows me to understand how raw data can be transformed into useful information.

Why I Started This Blog

I started this blog because I want to:

  • Record what I learn
  • Explain my projects clearly
  • Improve my technical communication
  • Share challenges and solutions
  • Track my development progress
  • Build a stronger professional portfolio

Writing about a topic also helps me understand it more deeply.

My Future Goals

My goal is to continue improving my programming, problem-solving, and software development skills.

I also plan to build more complete projects, contribute to beginner-friendly open-source projects, and prepare myself for a full-time technology role after graduation.

This is the beginning of my development journey, and I look forward to sharing more projects and lessons in future posts.

Thank you for reading.
