01 About me

I should start by conceding that I'm kind of socially awkward, but it's primarily because I don't feel comfortable in social settings. I like to think I'm decent once I warm up to people

In university I picked up some habits that I love: I started with podcasts (the general knowledge kind). My favourites are The Knowledge Project by Shane Parrish and The Tim Ferriss Show. In my final year, I started reading lots of nonfiction books. Here are some of my favourite books, by genre:

Computer Science

  • Microservices Patterns - Chris Richardson
  • Designing Data Intensive Applications - Martin Kleppmann
  • Thinking in distributed systems - Dominik Tornow

Psychology

  • Why we love - Anna Machin

Philosophy

  • The story of philosophy - Will Durant
  • How to live - Sarah Bakewell

History

  • Our Oriental Heritage (book 1/11 of The Story of Civilization) - Will Durant

You may find my full library here

Here are my other hobbies not yet implied

  • Fingerstyle Guitar (like Tommy Emmanuel)
  • Bingewatching (and snacking)
  • Taking walks (like an elderly)
  • Singing in the shower (like I'm trying to annoy my neighbors)
