More About Me

This blog is super out of date; I blame it on work and also trying to live.

Here’s a 2021 list of excellent dumb things that describe or rhyme with what I am:

  • Chaotic-pensive computer scientist
  • Confidence comes from base principles understanding, & doing. Not surface level shortcuts.
  • Engineer of soul & style
  • Indie director depending on the mood
  • Business-principles-aware but impatiently so
  • Proponent of egoless individuality, awareness, interestedness
  • 50-50 logic & feelings fueled storyteller
  • My DnD character has a ton of charisma in short & specific circumstances
  • Half hotblooded half coldblooded anime protagonist
  • Comfortable with complexity & n-dimensional space
  • Would-be CEO of something small & wisely disruptive
  • Hyperawareness. - means you can get overwhelmed, but have a large & nuanced bandwidth
  • Protopian futures lover; also pessimist futurist - those are the true optimists
