About Me

Interests when I'm not coding

  • I love learning languages and travelling. I speak English, French, Russian, and a little bit of German, Ukrainian, Spanish, and Italian. Please send me foreign book, film, and song recommendations!
  • I do all kinds of photography. I have a Nikon D7200 and a Tamron 16-300mm.
  • I often read dozens of books each month, and even built a tool to track them! I'm also in the process of writing a couple of my own. They will probably never be ready.
  • I'm interested in current politics and historical politics, and believe in the value of civic engagement. I wrote a short blog post about that if you're interested. I also made a election simulation game if you're into that.
