👀 Interests

  • In abstract terms, I think my interests can be summarized as:
  • I enjoy creating new experiences through technology that seem unimaginable

  • I also find hardcore STEM topics quite fascinating
    • I feel like my abilities are not catching up, but I am working on improving
  • My specific technological interests keep changing
    • I believe it’s okay not to rush into specializing in a field

👨 Personality

  • I took the 16 Personalities test and got INTP-T- The credibility of the test is unknown, but the explanation of the results was quite close to self-awareness.
  • Communication that requires quick thinking is not my strong suit.
    • I prefer to avoid Turn-Based Communication when engaging in discussions.
  • I’m not very good at showing off with a smug face, I think it’s a typical case of Impostor Syndrome.
