## interests

causal inference, and models that can explain themselves
game theory, and the equilibria people actually play
teaching as debugging: finding the exact line where understanding diverges
how good typography quietly does half the work
small, sharp CLI tools and whatever's in people's dotfiles
interfaces that load instantly and never animate without a reason
keyboards with the right amount of thock
chamber music, where no one's hiding in the back row
transcribing things by ear that have perfectly good sheet music
osu! and cytus ii, the only places i keep time without a metronome
zeitgeist, my obsidian vault, and the graph slowly forming between its notes
keeping a small fleet of ai agents from all agreeing with each other
french philosophy i'm only half sure i understand
training like this site is designed: high intensity, low volume
a properly constructed bowl of pho
