Personal
I like taking pictures, cooking stuff, and getting active.
I used to ride bikes around pre-college days just for commute. So I like bikes (look at this funny urban hardtail I built), but was not a “cyclist.” Jokes aside, I am becoming one though, now I mainly ride my gravel bike (which converts to a road bike upon a wheel swap) around.
I also like hiking. I am a beginner in backpacking, but I am really excited to do more backpacking trips in the future. My current goal is to explore more of the Sierra Nevada.
Some favorite hikes: Savage Alpine in late summer/early fall at Denali National Park, Harding Icefield, Sol Duc/High Divide Trail at Olympic National Park, Skyline Trail at Mount Rainier National Park.
I like data, and these are the things over which I don’t worry about privacy too much :D.

Photography? Yeah, I do have a standalone Instagram photography account as any photography-influencer-wannabe. What’s wrong with that though?
PS: Well you can say Instagram picture quality is pretty bad. I am also starting to get tired of Instagram as a platform as a whole. But since the whole point of social media is to post something for others to see, I have little incentive to make a Flickr page. Maybe you can introduce me to some groups.
Cooking? Ha, I am almost too lazy to document anything most of the time. I’ll post surely post something sometime. I can do Chinese, French, Italian, some Spanish, some middle eastern, some southeast Asian food. You just have to take my words for it.
Some favorite dishes: Chimichurri (I make a pretty good one); small pot rice noodles (that too); anything pork belly I guess?
