Off the clock

Rapid chess keeps my brain sharp (1650 ELO peak), basketball keeps my legs springy (38” vertical), and tutoring keeps me grounded—there's nothing like watching a concept finally click for someone.

Guiding ideas

Empathy first, iterate fast, share what you learn. Whether I&aposm refactoring a codebase or walking a student through dynamic programming, the goal is the same: make the next step easier for the person beside me.
