interests
Things I enjoy outside of research.
Chess
Casual but committed. I follow elite-level play and study openings, endgames, and tactics whenever I get the chance. Always up for a game online or over the board.
Basketball
Long-time NBA fan and pickup-game regular. I enjoy the game both as a player and as a spectator who appreciates the strategy behind rotations, spacing, and play design.
Sports Analytics
Fascinated by the intersection of data and sport — from advanced basketball metrics to player tracking, expected value models, and predictive analytics. Side projects in this space let me apply my ML interests in a domain I genuinely love.
Reading & Tech Tinkering
I read broadly across non-fiction, AI research, and the occasional novel. On the side I tinker with home-lab projects, automation, and small ML experiments that don't need to become papers.
