lore

welcome to the lore page. this is a storage of various pieces of lore about me. i will update with answers to frequently asked questions.




who am i?

my name jeff

I was born in Vancouver, BC in 2004. I’m a proud Canadian 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I spent a few years in Beijing, China, then went to grade school at Singapore American School in Singapore.

Now I’m in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, USA attending the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

I’m a computer engineering major, with additional interests in mathematics, semiconductor engineering, and urban planning.




what are my educational/career goals?

I’d like to balance my desire to keep educating myself with doing something meaningful with my career.

I also find importance in material wealth and innovation but also find I have to balance that with my inner morality and deeper meaning.

So, I’d like to build some cool things, make some money, and demonstrate my leadership while also being a respectable person.

For the next few years, I’m going to pursue a graduate degree. Most likely that will be a 1.5-year continuation of my undergrad at UIUC, with a M.S. in ECE. If I finish my undergrad a year early (as intended, in May 2026), I should finish my master’s degree by December 2027.

Ph.D is on the table but unlikely.




what is a lutet and why is it industries

This is somewhat of a long story.

Back in 8th grade, I started a Minecraft creative server with my friends where we were each assigned some territory, and we roleplayed as the governors of our respective territories, with congress, housing, transportation, infrastructure, things of that sort.

About a year in, the territory that I primarily worked on was called Lutet, named after Lutetia.

Soon, I would come to represent the territory in our mock government. There, my friends and I called each other by our state names for convenience sake, and so when we were on the server, my friends started calling me lutet. I got curious, realized that Minecraft username had not been taken yet, and switched my username to that.

I like the name lutet because it is short, memorable, and relatively underutilized on the internet. So if you look up lutet my socials come up pretty quickly.

Why industries? When I was first building custom PCBs I wanted to mark them like Adafruit did and Adafruit’s full name is Adafruit Industries. Hence, lutet industries.




why do you play rhythm games

in middle school a friend kept telling me to play osu and i got so annoyed i downloaded the game, got better than him, and sniped every single one of his scores

Everyone needs their form of recreation, and I choose to play rhythm games as it’s skill-based and it has a reasonably linear progression curve. Learning a new game gives me tons of dopamine just to get better, keeps the mind sharp, and sometimes can help me get exercise.

here is a (incomplete) list of rhythm games I have played a decent amount (>10 hours):
