I record, edit, and upload a wide variety of videos of how my weeks go, various events happening alongside my projects planning and creation processes. Currently a back-end Software Engineer living out in Seattle! I'm happy to answer any and all questions either in the comments or by email (in the "About" section). From animation to NYU to work to making videos, ask away! Thanks for dropping by.
🎬 My Videos
I upload every week on Thursdays at... some point... so check back then! I am focusing a lot on productivity, educational, and typing videos, from language learning and linguistics to game design and computer science, but have the occasional split here and there. You'll also find a handful of lifestyle vlogs and such!

I love this format of you just kinda chatting, feels like I'm talking to a friend

Genuinely one of the best comments I've received, thanks so much for saying so 😄 That was always my favorite type of content as well and is really nice to see someone react that way to my content

Great video! Another fascinating book by Hesse is "The Glass Bead Game". I strongly advice you to read it if you like "Steppenwolf"

Thanks for stopping by! “Siddartha” is another rec I got. Hesse is definitely on my radar now…

Cannot believe I failed to mention that to you woops. Will send on Discord. Blocking is the term. At least, I think it is; I only know it in the context of plays and stuff. It's kinda fun to work with the camera frame and let that be your stage because it allows for some more expressing in some way? Didn't know I had a style but I'm honored haha. The unedited form ain't bad! I think it's also kinda easy to get caught up in what "should" be done but alas. Yes, book thief! That book was amazing. My favorite book of All Time is The Messenger, also by Marcus Zusak. Huge fan of Underdogs too. Truly an artist with words.
