I'm an avid pythonista who sometimes finds himself writing Rust, Typescript or Go. I don't work in tech and don't develop professionally, but I aim to write professional code. If my code doesn't meet profesional standards, please tell me; Since I don't work in tech, I can sometimes overlook the obvious approach. On the plus side, I occasionally stumble into novel approaches too.

My work here is just an extension of my obsessive need to solve interesting problems and in the process, go way (way) too deep. The problem solving process is what I enjoy the most, at least in my personal life.

My interests are diverse and are always changing. They include reinvisioning ideas from an AI/ML-first perspective, data science, cryptography, vanquishing non-native plants and sometimes successfully growing natives in their place, and being a human multitool (from car and HVAC maintenance and construction to photography).

• Blitzkrieg Learning: Understanding what I don't know and need to know at super speed.
• Zero fear: No hesistation...ever.
• Asking questions no one else imagines: I just think differently.
• Seeking nuance: I'm suspicious of problems that look simple, because usually an important detail or consequence wasn't considered. Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised when a solution easily falls into place.
• Breathing life into ideas: I'm crazy good at navigating ambiguous problems and chipping away at abstract ideas.
• Writing for humans: I'm obsessed with plain, approachable writing.

... all superpowers have a cost. You can imagine for yourself how each of those can backfire sometimes.
