I'm a MS in Computer Science student at Columbia University (Graduating in December 2025). Before this, I studied Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo (Graduated 2024). I made this website to share a little about myself and my interests.
Like all humans, I love to be excited. And there is nothing more exciting than the super powers computers have given to humans. For example, I can tap a glass rectangle with a bunch of silicon carvings inside and boom, I'm watching grown humans tumble violently down a hill in pursuit of a Double Gloucester cheese at the Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake! Honestly, if that's not magic, I don't know what is.
Beliefs I hold dear:
- 💡I am the product of my experiences. So I should curate them carefully.
- 🔬At every single moment, I am wrong about something. And that's exciting!
- 🌍There is something to learn from everybody on the planet.
- ❓There are more unanswered questions than answered ones.
Random thoughts:
- 🐔The Factory Farmed Chickens on the planet - all 23 billion of them - are living in the matrix.
- 🌱Ideas grow and evolve like organisms. They have replication mechanisms, immune systems, and they compete for dominance in our shared consciousness.
Things I do for fun:
- ⚽Play & watch soccer (or badminton or basketball or golf or table tennis or pickleball)!
- 🛠️Learning about how and why things work (Technologies, Institutions, Soccer tactics etc.)
- 🎧Podcasts! My favorites include: Sean Carroll's Mindscape, Acquired, 99% Invisible, Against the Rules, and Hidden Brain.
- 📹Youtube + snacks! Some channels I love are: Polylog, Wendover Productions, 3Blue1Brown, Asianometry, and PBS Space Time.
- 📚Books! Recently I've enjoyed: The Power Broker, Stormlight Archives, Stolen Focus, Crescent City Series, and Deep Work.
