About

Love finding solutions to complex problems, creating socially rousing best-kept-secret web apps, reverse engineering the universe, sending peeps into deep existential turmoil over a chess match (mostly me), and upholding my fraught leader status while engaging with celebrity masqueraded AI bots and crafting riveting comments on LinkedIn.
