About
My life-long passion is travel. I've been to 140+ countries and eventually want to visit all of them. This is a very slow-burn objective, with a time-horizon of 'before I die.'
My second passion is tech. I remember as a kid, unscrewing old computers to understand how all the pieces fit together. I've always loved building in the latest bleeding-edge technology, and have built apps/platforms in cloud, blockchain, AI, etc. I'm currently focused on LLMs.
My third, unreciprocated passion is cats.
