I am a student studying Mathematics and Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.

I enjoy learning in any discipline. My specialty is technical, but I have a fond appreciation for the humanities and my experiences growing up reading books and loving history. I grew up speaking English and Spanish natively, I learned French in middle and high school, and I learned a little bit of Swedish on my own time. As for technical things, I have experience using C, Rust, SML, Python, Lean 4, LaTeX, Typst, HTML, CSS, Javascript and a variety of other languages. I am fondest of SML and Rust for programming things; Rust for its performance and ecosystem, SML for its elegant syntax and distinct approach to the writing of programs. My first experience with typesetting was LaTeX in 2015 and my first experience with programming was with Python in 2023.

Media

The following lists of media I greatly enjoy are subject to my ever-changing whims and preferences (as well as remembering what else I like.)

Music

Albums

Very brief descriptions provided below for selected albums!

Revolver, Beatles, 1966

Eleanor Rigby is their finest work. Other really cool works like Tomorrow never Knows also included.
Heaven or Las Vegas, Cocteau Twins, 1990

Lovely ethereal sound, love the whole album.
Loveless, My Bloody Valentine, 1991

One of my two picks for favorite album ever.
Souvlaki, Slowdive, 1992

Am not as fond of the style Slowdive uses with the very strong exception of Souvlaki Space Station, which is incredibly good.
Bossa Nova 2001, Pizzicato Five, 1993

The choice I made for P5, since I am mainly exposed to their music through the compilation.
Viva! La Woman, Cibo Matto, 1996

Shut up and eat!
Emperor Tomato Ketchup, Stereolab, 1996

Cybele’s Reverie is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever listened to.
Fantasma, Cornelius, 1997

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
OK Computer, Radiohead, 1997

I like this album a lot but don’t feel every track as much as the RateYourMusic people do.
Dots and Loops, Stereolab, 1997

Really creative and fun album with a lot of great diverse sounding tracks.
Stereo Type A, Cibo Matto, 1999

I love how they blend so many ideas together.
Beaucoup Fish, Underworld, 1999

Fond of Ramajama on the Superdeluxe issuing. Other than that, Cups, Push Upstairs, Push Downstairs are my favorites.
Kid A, Radiohead, 2000

The best Radiohead album with one of my favorite album openers.
A Hundred Days Off, Underworld, 2000

You bring light in!
Since I Left You, The Avalanches, 2000

(Trying to identify how many samples each song uses…)
Simple Things, Zero 7, 2001

Early 00s nostalgia, particularly Destiny, Give It Away, and In The Waiting Line
Melody AM, Röyksopp, 2001

Another early 00s nostalgia album. I have strong associations with Seattle because of a 2018 vacation I listened to this a lot during.
Velocity : Design : Comfort, Sweet Trip, 2003

My other pick for favorite album ever.
Oblivion With Bells, Underworld, 2007

Really good tracks
Velocifero, Ladytron, 2008

Thank you to whoever sold us a 2010 Toyota Corolla!
You Will Never Know Why, Sweet Trip, 2009

I like this one a lot too!
Echoes, Stellardrone, 2012

I have studied and travelled so many hours to this music, can’t thank Stellardrone enough.
Wallsocket, underscores, 2023

Her sound is great and lots of queer people and furries like her.
