About Me

My hobbies include video games (e.g. Stardew Valley), board/card games (especially hearts and Dominion), ballroom dancing, and ping pong. I'm planning on starting a new crochet project soon.

I don't have much luck with houseplants, but I do care for a cactus which I've had since childhood. Its flowers bloom for one night every summer.

The pictures below were taken at the Oregon Coast, one of my favorite places in the world.

Internet Recommendations

• My academic sibling Cruz Godar creates stunning applets demonstrating the beauty of math.
• The MathSciNet collaboration distance tool describes the authorship relationship between any two published mathematicians. In particular, this is great for finding Erdős numbers.
• Detexify is an excellent tool for LaTeX learners. How it works: draw symbols that you don't know how to TeX. Detexify will guess what it thinks you've drawn and then provide code for doing it in your document.
• In a similar vein, TeXnique is a game which tests your LaTeX skills.
