Dear reader,

Welcome to my plethora of thoughts. I enjoy learning about how and why things work, especially through the lens of theoretical chemistry and physical chemistry. I also have opinions about programming language theory and try to do synthetic biology.

My current life…

I’m finishing up my last year of chemistry and computer science at UBC, where I like to model molecules with functions, allowing us to quantitatively characterize and predict their behaviour. As such, I’m a bottom-up thinker that gets lost in the details, which means I also get involved in areas where I have to think about the big picture, such as iGEM and software; abstraction is a must here.

For fun, I like buying artisanal coffee, a hobby I started since someone I’m close to was appalled I was drinking instant coffee everyday; I drink at minimum two cups a day! I also read fiction books and enjoy talking about nonsensical scenarios.

My past life…

I was involved in participating and putting together events such as hackathons (StarHacks, cmd-f 2020) and panels for minority groups in computing. I also interned at Microsoft and Capital One, forming close friendships with people from all over Canada and the USA! Through these experiences, I’ve met lots of great people that I’m inspired by on the daily. While I don’t see myself returning to the software industry (for now), I’m grateful for the people I’ve met and am excited to see what is next for me.
