I am a human being from Toronto 🇨🇦 but I'm often stateside. I'm thinking about atoms, which I think are underrated.

I'm not really sure at all (accurate as of Feb 2023.)

Interests

• Atoms. Atoms are cool.
• Math. When I learned math in school, I found it beautiful, so I'm exploring it more. Starting with abstract algebra.
• Chess. I'm amateurish. We should play.
• League of Legends. My true passion in life. I peaked mid-diamond in like 2016, I'll play like once or twice a year for a few weeks.
