About
I'm an undergraduate at Rice University studying computer science and mathematics. I'm drawn to questions at the intersection of formal systems, computation, and mathematical structure.
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."
"Thinking is learning all over again how to see, directing one's consciousness, making of every image a privileged place."
