Trying to build the communities I want to see in the world

Contact Interests

What I care about

Community Building

  • I participate in the council of a consensus-based intentional community centered around a neighborhood garden.
  • I am a member of several local community group chats for mutual aid, partner dance, and social events.
  • I enjoy attending the Twin Oaks Communities Conference focused on intentional communities.

Partner Dancing

  • I am experienced at leading Argentine tango, blues, Lindy hop, and fusion dance.
  • I am passably capable of following in salsa, bachata, merengue, zouk, kizomba, contra, west coast swing, and Balboa.
  • I have taught group and individual classes and helped organize social dance events, for example as president of the Argentine Tango Club of my university.

Software Engineering

  • I am primarily an Android developer.
  • I pursued tech out of a desire to apply this problem-solving to areas related to the social sciences and environmentalism.

Other interests

  • Writing — see my Substack
  • Reading — some books I've found influential and enjoyable:
    • Childhood
      • Dragonriders of Pern
      • Hatchet
      • Eragon
      • Game of Thrones
    • Adulthood
      • Nonviolent Communication
      • High Conflict
      • A Deadly Education
  • Gardening
  • Philosophy — I have never studied it formally or read many of the foundational texts, but I enjoy discussing it.

Potential future interests

  • Might be interested in pursuing a career related to conflict resolution.
  • Could get into improv comedy.

Miscellaneous fun facts

  • I enjoyed the em dash before it was uncool.
  • I never really got into the habit of listening to music because I didn't do it as a kid (though I love many musics).
