Well that's a complicated question to open with. How do I sum that up into a nice, neat blurb for the
2020-11-26 02:54:41 +00:00
internet? I can start with some simple easy to categorize attributes, that seems to be the usual
2022-01-08 17:26:38 +00:00
approach.

I was part of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wpi.edu/">WPI</a> Class of 2017 and graduated
with a degree in mechanical engineering. My job is completely unrelated to my degree: I work as a
Site Reliability Engineer at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wpi.edu/">Starry, Inc</a>. I like
hiking, mechanical design, and literary theory. I'm a

and have accidentally flipped over very-nearly every time I've ridden in a canoe (bonus fact: I don't
2020-11-26 02:54:41 +00:00
like canoes very much).

Oof, and I thought the last section was difficult. I don't like talking about myself, in case that wasn't
obvious. Shoot, that's more of a personal detail, should it have gone in the last section? Whatever,
moving on.

My interests are somewhat varied and changing all the time, but consistently my main interests are in
solving problems and learning about how other people solved problems. I like the
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.python.org">Python</a> programming language, the history of 19th and
2022-01-08 17:26:38 +00:00
20th centuries (particularly related to industry), and figuring out how to keep older cars working well
2020-11-26 02:54:41 +00:00
past their intended retirement date. I also like books! The
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46654.The_Foundation_Trilogy">Foundation Trilogy</a>
(Isaac Asimov),

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13047567-chaos-walking">Chaos Walking</a>
