I build things, write songs, think about why any of it matters, and walk a small orange dog. If any of that sounds interesting, say hi.

Professors
I've taken courses at universities including Stanford, Columbia, Northwestern, LSE, NUS, and ANU — among others. Below are the professors I really liked, listed alphabetically by last name. Names go up only after the grade is in. (I don't kiss ass.)
- Jessica Collins — Philosophy of Probability and Decision TheoryLucid, meticulous; board work is impeccable.
- Charles Manski — Public Policy MethodsMakes you question econometric orthodoxy (especially statistical significance); funny.
- Jean McClellan — Voice & Alexander TechniqueDeeply encouraging; builds actor confidence.
- James Rekoske — NegotiationsInsider-level experience; his own cases hit far harder than anything in the standard case library.
- Ee Waun Sim — Public SpeakingPoised, cultured, elegant.
- Hannah Smith-Drelich — Creative Non-FictionOpen-minded, deeply constructive on essays.
- Satoru Takahashi — Advanced Game TheoryRelaxed classroom, lots of latitude on assignments, outcome-focused.
- Serene Tan — Search TheoryDirect and fair; tests what you actually know under pressure.
- Jonathan Vandenberg — ActingStanislavski & Bogart; class run like a professional rehearsal.
My standard for an excellent professor: two things. First, exceptional personal charisma — never mediocre, never merely utilitarian. Second, the power to enlighten. They don't spoon-feed rigid syllabus content in one direction; they ignite students' genuine interest in the discipline. The best ones make you a lifelong, self-directed learner.
