Hey there fun people of the world!

About Me

I was born in SoCal and raised in Palos Verdes (also SoCal.) I have a twin sister who attends UC Berkeley and my parents are currently most likely frolicking about without us, hiking and biking and sports of the like. I played volleyball in high school and I am on the club team here. Hopefully it doesn't interfere with rush!

Things that I use to procrastinate

League of Legends, Netflix, Anime & Manga, Working Out, and Cleaning My Room. (more to come)

The Man Working to Reverse Engineer Your Brain, from NPR, updated 29 February 2012, accessed 13 September 2015, is an interesting article that discusses a man Seung's opinions on how we can move towards reverse engineering the brain. (Grand Challenge)

MATLAB demo

I particularly liked the traveling salesman app because I have no idea currently how it runs, finding and drawing shortest distances using random numbers, logically, and I think it is definitely something that wouldn't be too hard to get a grasp on, so I'd like to take a look at it soon.
