I was born in Dallas, but home to me will always be the Pacific Northwest. I’ve lived here since I was 6!
I used to want to study chemistry in high school, before settling on doing chemistry and computer science, and then just computer science.
My hobbies are mostly non-technical. I especially enjoy fantasy in any medium: games, books, movies, anything really. I also am an avid wildlife photographer. I find animals give far less criticism on their portraits than my human friends do.
I enjoy snowboarding (decent), tennis (mediocre), basketball (horrendous), and running (improving)!
I have an older brother Ani, who is a Ph.D. student at UCSD CSE. He’s much smarter than me, but I keep up by learning from his example.
