Keeping a list on trends + technologies I’m personally inspired by, optimistic about, and potentially want to work on in the future.

Tech + Startups

I grew up near the bay but wasn’t really exposed to tech and startups until college. I got obsessed with reading stuff on early Quora and figured it’d be more exciting to try building new things for the world instead of pushing numbers around aimlessly in finance.

AI, ML, and Data

My first gig out of college was at Amazon working on analytics and I fell deeply in love with pulling data, figuring out what’s going through analytics, and I have a lot of fun making predictions about things (for fun or in actual systems like @ Opendoor and Amplitude).

Crypto

Basically all of my time growing up was spent on internet forums like Niketalk, Superfuture, and Hypebeast reading about streetwear and sneakers, playing video games like DotA (Allstars*), managing fantasy basketball and football teams, or just shitposting on Tumblr. Speculation aside, crypto reminds me of my childhood on the internet. Collecting is fun. Open, transparent, and permissionless applications and data are good for the world.

Health, Fitness, Longevity

Pushing the limits of the human body and living longer is good for the world. Eliud Kipchoge and Lebron James are major inspirations.

Housing, Urbanism, and Cities

Living in dense cities and being closer to my friends makes me happy. Suburban sprawl is bad for climate. Owning a car feels like a waste of money.

Space and Energy

I’m a total newb here but I want to learn more about this in the coming years. Send me your reading lists for space and energy!
