CURRENT MISSION

Just moved to San Diego so I'm getting acclimated and exploring the area.

ABOUT ME

I studied EE at UT Austin. I enjoy problem solving and especially love puzzle and strategy games. I'm a huge fan of multiple genre's of music, although I gravitate towards some more than others. I usually pick out songs I like and try to categorize them into a personal playlist of how I should feel when I listen to them. I enjoy playing sports, but soccer is probably the only one I'm decent at. Also, I work out fairly often when school isn't too busy or stressful.

PHILOSOPHY

One of the most important rules of my life that I try to abide is the golden rule: "One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself." It's important to become aware of how others are affected by your actions, and takes effort on your part to do so. If you can think of others as you think of yourself, then you've become a better person.

I think this is why I like strategy games. I enjoy placing myself in others' positions and figuring out what they want or need to win.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Contributed code to an Android mobile app

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach/Share:
Being an engineer I know quite a bit about math/physics/programming and other problem solving related things. I also have some experience as a musician (percussionist up to high school). I started working out about 2 years ago and can offer my opinion on how to achieve your goals (NO such thing as quick results, sorry).

Learn/Experience:
Picking up other languages is always fun. Learning how to play instruments is too. I'd like to try more activities that I may have not considered before. I just went downhill mountain biking last summer thinking I wouldn't enjoy it. Boy was I wrong. If there are any interesting activities that someone would share with me I'd be delighted!

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand
