**back to CS and hosting post pandemic**

musician/geek from Los Angeles and currently live in Newark, southeast of San Francisco.

I took my time exploring and studied music in college alongside two other majors, computer science and mathematics. I once wanted to be a full-time musician but deviated from the path due to career concerns. I still record and play music besides my day job :p.

My bands play regularly in local bars/parties and music festivals around Bay Area and I've met all kinds of interesting people, some batshit crazy but most of them fun XD. One thing I do love is to listen to people's stories, good or bad or hilarious or embarrassing, and there is never a lack of interesting personalities and stories within the CS community :D.

I love all kinds of physical activities. As an adrenaline junkie, I frequent race tracks around California and often bring my 2018 FK8 to beat some records :).
