hi, i'm david

i like to make things, learn things, and occasionally go places by myself. currently at berkeley studying eecs, headed to google next summer.

welcome to my little corner

i believe in following what you love, even when no one else is coming along.

that's kind of my whole thing, honestly.

What I'm Into

the things that make me, me

a few windows into what i care about

💃

dance

i wanted to see if i could dance. so i joined a training club. turns out you don't need to be good before you start—you just need to start.

still learning, always learning

cooking

there was a bread phase. there was a beef wellington. there was a prime rib that turned out really well actually. cooking is just chemistry you get to eat.

the bread journey is documented
💜

bts & v

it started with euphoria playing on shuffle—that dreamy pastel cover art. now i have a photobook and zero regrets. v feels like a warm hug.

layover on repeat, always
✈️

solo trips

myrtle beach with a photobook. a j-hope concert when my friends couldn't make it. there's something nice about following what you love.

good company: me, myself, and music
📚

teaching

whether it's dynamic programming, graph algorithms, or just figuring something out together. the moment something clicks for someone? that's the good stuff.

— literally me, describing why i carry a photobook to myrtle beach
Research & Work

building things that matter

from ai safety research at berkeley to self-driving trucks at waabi, i'm drawn to hard problems with real impact. this summer, i'll be at google—still figuring out what i'll build, but excited to find out.

i'm always happy to chat about code, cooking, bts theories, or anything else really.
