I don’t like defining myself by my job, though. Above all, I am perpetually curious about practically everything. That includes plenty of CS-related topics, of course, as well as adjacent fields like mathematics and digital hardware. But it also covers literature, philosophy, and the social sciences. My intent for this website is to talk about whatever I’m interested in at any given moment. I’ve always been self-conscious about making myself vulnerable to scrutiny, but now, I want to flip that on its head: I believe that earnestness is a virtue. My hope is that, by publishing my thoughts and ideas openly for your critique and enjoyment, we can learn together.
