About Me

I am currently a software engineer at Applied Intuition where I work on the DevOps team. I was previously a technology analyst at Roivant Sciences. I studied Computer Science and Economics at Williams College.


Research

As an undergraduate at Williams, I conducted research in the field of combinatorial generation. My research focused on efficiently generating certain sets of Catalan objects, specifically Ɓukasiewicz words and ordered trees (plane trees).

Personal Projects


Software I particularly like

tilling window managers: dwm, dusk

About this site

features / non-features

  • Serverless: For some, serverless means letting AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud abstract away server interaction from the programmer. These services are serverless in the same sense that hiring someone else to build your house is "constructionless."
  • This website is serverless in a different sense: it runs on a Raspberry Pi in my parents' basement (pictured to the right). While this paradigm is not truly serverless either, the fact that my server is smaller than a deck of cards allows me to feel closer to a true serverless experience.
  • No javascript: absent javascript, the web is fast. This website is small and will load quickly on any device.
