The things that
don't belong on a résumé.

📚

Reading

Across genres. I like getting absorbed in another person's way of seeing the world.

🎨

Painting

Something with no KPI, no roadmap, and no reason to optimize it.

Vision Boards

A suspiciously organized combination of manifestation and project management.

Coffee

Especially when accompanied by an excellent local breakfast spot.

Interactive Art

Give me an art museum where touching, moving, or participating is part of the experience.

Rap + Hip-Hop

A very different kind of pattern recognition.

You found something
The unexamined life is not worth living.

This comes from the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, as described in Plato’s Apology. He said it during his trial in Athens around 399 BCE, while defending himself against accusations of corrupting the youth and not respecting the city’s gods.

This quote means a lot to me because I believe in questioning my beliefs, understanding my values, and seeking wisdom rather than simply accepting things as they are. It reminds me that self-reflection and the search for truth are essential to living a meaningful life.
