I work at the intersection of computer language and human language, which is a fancy way of saying that I’m a data journalist!

Kind, contemplative, good listener, sensitive, humorous, non-judgmental, bookworm, tech-head, thinker.

I am an open minded person. I like to meet people from diverse background and listen to their stories. It gives me a new perspective about life. I love nature and try to live in it as much as possible.
Old ruins and museums are my particular weakness.
