CURRENT MISSION

To observe, partake, give, and take. To find meaning in meaninglessness. To see the finite in the infinite. To live and love life.

ABOUT ME

I graduated last year from Uni with an honors degree in Computer Science, a minor in Mathematics, and a minor in Philosophy.
I am a student of life: I love the humanities, the sciences, language, and ideas.

I immediately became disillusioned and confused as to what I should do, despite the obvious practicality and job opportunities given to me by Computer Science. I decided that I was uncomfortable working a 9-5 job in a cubicle in front of a monitor, being a code monkey. I dropped it all, and have been working at a small, local coffee shop to embrace my love of social interaction and community.

I have also taken up a research position at the University of Washington in brain research, which I am very interested in. I work with brain-computer interfaces and brain data analysis. This summer I'll be travelling. Next fall I will be moving to Switzerland to continue my studies at the EPFL, working in the Brain Mind Institute.

Meanwhile, I'm floating on thin air.

*THIS* is what we have. I like it.
