About Me

I'm a master's student in Computer Science at Columbia University (Graduating December 2025). Before this, I studied Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo (Graduated 2024). I built this site to share a bit about myself and the things I love.

Like all humans, I love to be excited. And to me, there's nothing more exciting than the superpowers computers have given us. I can tap a glass rectangle filled with silicon carvings, and **boom** I’m watching some silly people tumble down a hill chasing a wheel of 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.
🤔
It's vital to know why you believe what you believe.
🔬
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.

Ideas I find interesting:

🌀
Ideological Freedom is incredibly rare and incredibly valuable.
🌱
Ideas grow and evolve like organisms. They have replication mechanisms, immune systems, and they compete for dominance in our shared consciousness.
🐔
The Factory Farmed Chickens on the planet - all 23 billion of them - are living in the matrix.

Stuff that makes me happy:

⚽
Play & watch soccer! (or ping pong, or basketball or pickleball, or literally any other sport)
🎧
Podcasts! My favorites include: Sean Carroll's Mindscape, Acquired, 99% Invisible, Against the Rules, and Hidden Brain.
🛠️
Learning about how and why things work (Technologies, Institutions, Soccer tactics etc.)
📹
Youtube!! Some channels I love are: Polylog, Wendover Productions, 3Blue1Brown, Asianometry, and PBS Space Time.
📚
Books! Recently I've enjoyed: Making Sense of Chaos,The Power Broker, Stormlight Archives, Stolen Focus, Crescent City Series, The Ideological Brain, and Deep Work.
