High creativity, medium utility ramblings.
Me in 60 Seconds
I study the intersection of mind and tech. Now in a Master’s program in Brain and Cognition at UPF Barcelona.
Life-long learner. I learned from videogames that self-improvement is a meta-skill to be applied in all areas of life, that life is a game.
Neurotechnology. I’m dedicated to defining and solving real problems. Currently fascinated by EEG neurotechnology.
Writer. I write essays and poems to expand thoughts and feelings on complex topics.
Data. I’ve used data analysis software to win at online poker over a large sample size.
In the arena. Surfer, skateboarder, snowboarder. Working on life projects. My LinkedIn.
Me in 25 Years
1998: Born.
2006: Learned to skate and snowboard age 8.
2006-2013: Taught science lessons for my 5th grade teacher, worked on math problems at snack break. Learned to surf. Was obnoxiously logical and shy, but paradoxically weird and rebellious. Played a lot of videogames.
2016: Started college at UCSB. Felt hopelessly lost. Began to find like-minded entrepreneurial groups in the Technology Management program. Found Psychology and self-improvement. Broke my shyness.
2019: Won the UCSB New Venture Competition. Studied abroad in Barcelona– got robbed, and ran with the bulls in Pamplona. Graduated college early. Wrote 105,000 words. Worked on a psychology research project. Good year.
2020-2021: Worked as a product analyst/market researcher. Fell in love with Neurotechnology, took a pay cut to pursue EEG research. Bought my own 19 channel EEG system to tinker with. Began a 5 month road trip, living out of my car.
2022: Finished my road trip 11,215 miles across 29 US states. Started work in the UCSD Psychiatry Department doing research on mental disorders and EEG. Went in the ocean 250+ days. Wrote 120,000 words.
2023: Began a Master’s in Brain & Cognition in Barcelona, working on measures of global brain dynamics in electrophysiological data (brainwaves). Wrote 135,000 words.
