Things I'm thinking about

Thinking ...

I'm always wondering about life... I don't think one day goes by without asking myself if what I'm doing aligns with how I want to create value in the world. It's been a decade since I took five full-term theology classes... so maybe it's time to engage in something other than AI and science again?

Oct 2025 – I'm also thinking about how to prioritize the various opportunities life is throwing at me. I want to lead by example, just as my most incredible role models have shown me.

I have more questions than answers, so if you want to wonder about the world, reach out. If you want answers from me, I might not be your person, unless it's math, in which case you can ask Gen AI. JK, please teach me OR ask me an interesting enough question, and we'll find a state-of-the-art answer.

If we spend most of our time complaining, we won't have time for enjoying the great things around us. Life has taught me to smile at everything.

I am a very enthusiastic and optimistic person.

I firmly believe that the better people we are, the more we receive from the rest.
