Hobbies & Interests
Basketball Enthusiast
I've been playing basketball since high school and I'm a Dallas Mavericks fan. My favorite player is KD (I know KD never played for Mavericks, relax).
Basketball has taught me teamwork, strategy, and perseverance - skills that translate well into my professional life.
Chess Player
I started playing chess during Covid and haven't stopped since then. Find me onLichessandChess.com, or at UWaterloo or Lancaster University Chess Club. My favorite players are Ding Liren and Fabiano Caruana.
Chess has sharpened my strategic thinking and ability to plan several moves ahead - crucial skills for software development and problem-solving.
Anime & Manga Fan
I've been watching anime and reading manga since elementary school. Fellow weebs feel free to hit me up to talk about newest animes and manga. I'm a huge fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and I think Part 7 is the greatest manga of all time.
Anime and manga have inspired my creativity and exposed me to unique storytelling approaches and artistic styles.
Startup Enthusiast
I'm exploring the startup space and trying to find cracked people to work with. Hit me up if you have a cool project in mind!
I've interviewed with YC before (didn't get in), but I do know a thing or two about the startup world. I'm passionate about innovation and building products that solve real problems.
