The short version

This summer I was working as a line cook and building an AI application in the hours around it, and I started losing sleep because of it. I could have made an excuse to my chef but I told him what was actually going on instead, and he was a lot more understanding about it than I thought he was going to be. I incorporated the app and shipped it - then shut it down in August because I ran out of money to keep the LLC going.

Right now I'm at Virginia Tech studying operations and supply chain management and I graduate in December 2027, so that's the practical half of my life. This site is the part nobody assigned to me, which is most of the point of it.

I have a lot of hobbies and probably too many of them. Between snowboarding, golfing, DJing, and producing, I've had to get better at making room for the things I actually care about.

Music has always been an outlet for me and I noticed many people feel similarly, so that's where the whole look of this site came from. The unit you clicked through on the front page is the thing I spend a lot of my free time behind and it felt more honest to build this out of that than to go pick a template.

On a final note, I found out I have ADHD. What may not seem apparent, but is to me now, is that the same wiring that makes sitting through my lectures feel impossible will also drop me into six hours on something without noticing my room getting dark. When it's a project I actually care about, that's the part that works for me instead of against me, and it's most of the reason I keep starting new ones.
