I'm a software developer. Currently taking a bunch of online courses to learn data science, machine learning, and finance. In between work and school I'm usually watching sports, watching weird movies, listening to audiobooks/lectures, hiking around, marveling about the universe, and spending time with my bae.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I'm embarrassed to admit there are a couple of songs on the recent Taylor Swift album that I really like (not "bad blood" tho, that song is just.. no).

Movies: I like all kinds. A wide sampling, off the top of my head: The Big Short, Wolf of Wall Street, Coherence, Heat, Not Another Teen Movie, Tremors, The Lego Movie, Wreck-it Ralph, Zootopia, and of course Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which always gives me the feels. The only movies I dislike are the ones where the plot line relies on characters being stupid.

Books: I've recently discovered that I love listening to audiobooks. Some recent goodies: The Blank Slate by Pinker, The NOW Habit, Consciousness and the Brain, Flash Boys, Liar's Poker, 1984, Lombard Street.
