Fall Engineering, Winter Cinema, and Chicago Spring
It’s been a while, for those of you betting on it, no, I haven’t lost interest in the trains. I own a CTA umbrella now.
Fall Engineering
Fall through Winter quarters, I was able to participate in an experimental engineering class, which is taught by a professor from MIT following the ciriculum in 'how to make almost anything'. We covered web design, CAD, circuit boards, C, entrepreneurship, woodworking, and various manufacturing strategies. If you'd like, you can see my works here!

Launching a better link shortener
I got tired of making Bit.ly links for everything, so I made my own link shortener which allows for multiple links to be submitted into a link-tree style page.Jellyfish
These will eventually move and fully react to music, but I'm in the process of re-writing the firmware.
Winter Cinematography
This quarter I've been working more on student sets, which has been really fun! While they're still in post production, I'll be sure to send an update when they're published.
Chicago Spring
The architecture, trains, walkable environments, unending shops and parks around the city, everything feels alive in a way I can't describe.
One of my favorite pastimes is to ride the Purple line up into Evanston, walk around for a bit,
then take it back before it stops running. The view is beautiful, and when the trains hit the new
track after Wilson the ride is as smooth as butter.
If you end up in town...
Make sure to visit Portillo's and Pequods at least once, head down to Andrew Jackson Park, visit Alley Cat comics in Andersonville, and swing by Sleep Walk, a local chocolatier in Pilsen!
Note to students
If you're taking any classes in a field I've studied, be sure to check if I've posted notes on my website! I hope they'll come in handy :)Media Recommendations

Other updates
My main website has been updated quite a bit! Most of the changes are performance related and not particularly noticeable, but I still hope you’ll like them!
