Life & Experiences

Two week trip throughout Switzlerand. Attended European Lisp Symposium 2025 where I was able to meet some fascinating people keeping the language alive. Afterwards, explored the cities of Zurich, Interlaken, and the region of Appenzelle.

Hiking through the Rocky Mountains in Frisco, Colorado. Further explored national parks such as Rocky Mountain National Park and Great Sand Dunes National Park. Recommend hiking Mt. Quandry if you ever find yourself in the area!

European Lisp Symposium of 2024 where we discussed the implications of LLM's in Lisp. Further explored the city of Vienna and the charm of Alpine vilages. If you have a car then check out Grossglockner High Alpine Road.

Island hopping through pristine beaches, experiencing Filipino hospitality, and exploring the island of Palawan. Had a crazy 36 hour travel back. Had to go from El Nido to Manila to Tokyo to San Francisco to Chicago to Ann Arbor. Definitely not the shortest path I could've taken (should've used Dijkstra's)

Got in touch with where my father's side of my family comes from. Road trip along the perimeter of Ireland stopping in cities such as Cork and Dublin. Definitely reccommend going to Belfast if visitng Ireland.

Finally returned to China after many years to see more of where my mother's side of my family comes form. I explored Shanghai with my cousins, and eventually made it to the Yunnan province to explore the edge of the Himalayas. Highly reccommend going to Tiger Leaping Gorge if you find yourself in China.
