This Website

This passion-project website was designed with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, using Visual Studio Code as the IDE. Nothing fancy. I hesitate to even consider JavaScript as an inclusion since the only scripts present are the ones included via CDN from Bootstrap.

Dude, I love Bootstrap.

All content — meaning both the website's components and the written articles — is researched and written by me. Believe me, I understand that generative AI has its place in the tech industry, but I prefer the man-made approach.

Aspirations

Gotta have dreams & goals, right?

I really want to eat at Eleven Madison Park. My poor friends have heard me say this about 200 times and I may continue to say it until it happens.

I'd be happy if I could run a sub-30-minute 5k before the end of 2026. The key is consistent training, so that's really what I'm working on.

I want to visit at least 3 state/national parks when the weather turns up for 2026. Hiking trails seems like a good time and I could stand to be a little more outdoorsy.

Reading List

In 2025, I got into reading more than I ever previously had. Continuing this into 2026!

  • The Three Body Problem Series — Liu Cixin
    • The Three Body Problem
    • The Dark Forest
    • Death's End
  • The 5AM Club — Robin Sharma
  • Unreasonable Hospitality — Will Guidara
  • The Fellowship of the Ring — J. R. R. Tolkien
  • The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store — James McBride
  • Station Eleven — Emily St. John Mandel
  • Empire of Pain — Patrick Radden Keefe
  • The Red Rising Saga — Pierce Brown
    • Red Rising
    • Golden Son
    • Morning Star
    • Iron Gold
    • Dark Age
    • Light Bringer
    • Red God
  • Project Hail Mary — Andy Weir
  • Thinking, Fast and Slow — Daniel Kahneman

The first book in the Red Rising series was a great read. The world building is fun in its simple categorization of society; it creates an easy-to-follow hierarchy and a strong sense of power scaling. Excited to see where it goes in the following six installments.

Interests

Drawing, painting, skiing, web design, Texas hold 'em, travelling, reading, exercising — in no particular order. I study Italian on Duolingo; 730+ day streak, no big deal.
