One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Created a virus. (For research, I promise!)

Teach, Learn, Share

American politics, business, economy, anything nerdy, cocktail recipes, other things I'm sure are more useful that I can't think of while writing this.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A drink at the pub. My experience coming from an undeserved community in the US and how that affects my perception working in companies in Silicon Valley. A lot of random facts you never cared to learn (and maybe a few you do). Some awesome music to chill out to. My family's posole recipe. Interesting tidbits about biology and mental health/cognitive biases. A duet during karaoke. Good places to eat/visit in the Bay Area.
