Versatile

My path to data analytics has been wonderfully non-linear. I've dabbled in CTF competitions, penetration testing, and software development, but data analytics is where everything clicked. When I step away from datasets, I'm usually at the piano working through French Romantic composers, diving into options strategies, or grinding out meters on the rowing machine.

Here's what I'm up to now.

Moving my site to Framer and learning how to use it

Adopted a simpler, friendlier, minimalistic design that better reflects who I am.

Learning jazz piano

As a classically trained pianist, the learning curve has been very steep.

Reading works by Matsuo Bashō

Picked up a complete edition of Bashō's Haikus in San Francisco, CA.

Building mechanical keyboards

Favorite switches are a toss-up between HMX Xinhai or HMX Cheese.

Preparing for the JLPT and HSK language exams

Hoping one day to be fluent conversationally in Japanese and Chinese.
