My programmer identity

I enjoy a variety of technical subfields within Computer Science, combining my love for other disciplines as well. In no particular order:

• Machine Learning / Artificial Intelligence
  • I love the deep statistical foundations underpinning ML
  • The most direct contribution I can see myself making to humanity
  • It’s just cool
• Game Development
  • I enjoy modding my favorite video games
  • When not using a game engine, I love the application and implementation of physics concepts
• Theoretical CS
  • I enjoy the varying levels of abstraction
  • Lots of fun “idealistic” problem-solving to be done
• Software Engineering
  • Interesting from a design and peoples perspective
• Systems Programming
  • More or less connected to my obsession with tinkering with technology

The sum of the parts

I believe programming allows me to express a lot of my personality, but that is just one part of my life. Here are few of my hobbies, in no particular order despite the ordered list:

1. Consuming and producing music
2. Board games and logic puzzles
3. Video games
4. Some random bimonthly pursuit

I don’t have any advice or something to sell so here’s a nice quote that I like.

Action cures fear. —Seneca

Besides that, I happily parent two cats who are still learning to be nice to each other. Here’s my tuxedo boy.

Also, here’s a codeblock his mischievousness above vetted personally:

#!/bin/bash
alias cat='echo meow'
