Who I am. I am currently a freshman at
Brown University, pursuing a Sc.B. in
Computer Science. An erstwhile resident of Seattle, Washington, I enjoy the outdoors and only occasionally use an umbrella. I have a passion for creating things and solving puzzles, and a natural disposition for using technology makes CS the best venue for doing both. I'd also like to make some sort of positive difference in the world, but whether by helping to mitigate world hunger, making communication even easier, or developing new forms of entertainment, time has yet to tell.
What I do. Beyond being a student (which takes a LOT of time, let me tell you), I also play frisbee on
Brownian Motion, the A team at Brown. This involves traveling around the country kicking some at tourneys, and also practicing for many hours a week. When possible, I also make music (as is evident on my
Made page) using
Ableton Live and
FL Studio, with the aid of my Xiosynth keyboard. Other hobbies include reading (sci-fi mostly), volleyball, hackey-sacking, and eating. Hummus, chocolate, and chow mein are some personal favorites.
What I have done. I've held three positions of official employment thus far: a clerk at
Ten Thousand Villages (an ethnic goods retailer), an intern in the University of Washington
chemistry department, and customer service at
A-1 Best Computer, a local computer repair company. I've also
made several websites, for my parents businesses and a national organization of psychologists headed by a family friend. If you're interested in a more detailed record of my employment, check out my
LinkedIn, and if you like my web design work you can propose a project
here.
