Side projects can be daunting. You have a brilliant idea in your mind, but how do you get it into code? Kenton and Darren, both current uni students and side project veterans are here to give you guidance on how to start, finish and maintain your side projects.

Darren Fu: "Hi everyone, my name is Darren and I’m a very-late-year software engineering and maths student at UQ. Along the way I’ve worked on some cool things in web development, data analytics and machine learning, and also co-created the timetabling app UQ Planner. I go to uni on Mondays and Fridays, and you can find me on the UQCS Slack as @dr2n."

Kenton Lam: "Hi, I'm Kenton Lam (@k on Slack). I'm in my 4th year of computer science and maths at UQ. I've tutored some courses, done some professional web dev and other software things. Along the way, I've made a bunch of projects to solve problems big and small."
