Hello there! I am an energetic computer scientist, creative problem solver, and thoughtful communicator with a passion for teaching, learning, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I am always striving to enhance our human experience by focusing on empathy, equality, and technical dexterity in an ever-changing world. In complement to my journey as a computer scientist, I am also a writer, philosopher, musician, filmmaker, gym-goer, and traveler.

How to navigate this site

Aristotle, the esteemed Greek Philosopher, believed that there exists three basic activities for the human mind: theoria, poiesis, and praxis. In honor of Aristotle’s wise teachings and historic legacy, I have structured my website by these three activities:

📖 Theoria: Activities for the sake of learning and truth seeking. My theoria consists of journalism, book reviews, tech articles, and the like.

💻 Poiesis: Activities for the sake of production. My poiesis consists of projects in all disciplines (software, art, video, etc.)

🛫 Praxis: Activities for the sake of action. My praxis consists of blog posts documenting my experiences (travel, conferences, food, etc.)

General Experience

I have a B.S. and M.S. in computer science from the Colorado School of Mines. During college, I spent three summers in the aerospace industry, primarily doing software testing (see below). I also have experience in web technologies, including Node.js, React, Angular, and HTML/CSS. My primary languages are C++, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Python, but I have also worked with C, Go, C#, Java, PHP, OCaml, and Lisp.
