I'm headed on a lifelong mission of enhancing human interaction and curiosity 💭

Besides studying at USC, I also built my own Netflix just to watch the content I like 🍿
I'm also currently building writehither.com, early version is live!

🟩 Typical question I'm asked: "Which languages and frameworks do you know?"
In an interview: "So there's Python, Java, Node..."
What I mean: "Give me anything with sane documentation and a help forum, I'll get it done."

__________

What do I do every day?

💻 Get a feature running on any project. 
Yes it's a pain, but I like to challenge myself to do it.

📕 Read books. 
Fiction usually. I don't find great value in self-help books.

🎶 Listen to my favorite tracks on loop. 
It's insanely comforting. Only when I can give full attention do I explore other genres.
