Software developer and language enthusiast ("polyglot") based in New York City, soon returning to school to get a masters in Data Journalism. I grew up in the United States and China (in that order) and have always been fascinated with learning about other cultures (languages especially, but also history, politics, and popular culture). I did linguistics in college and specialized in Russian, and have since gone and tried to pick up a bunch of other languages, to varying degrees of success. I like to practice these languages by traveling when I can, and when I can't, I help organize a language exchange meetup in NYC called Polyglot Bar.
