Of course Computer Science isn't my only interest. Although I try to incorporate CS into my life as much as I can, there is much more out there for me. I dub myself "Creative Director", of what? I'm not sure yet. But I love to create whenever possible. Whether in the form of writing, coding, drawing, acting; there's a sense of pride in turning an idea into something real. Sorry to tie it back to CS but that's really why I'm in the field; it allows for unlimited creativity. It gives you the possibility to think of a solution to a problem and solve/puzzle your way to the end goal.
A little more about me
Youtube
A bit of Everything
I am by no means a "content creator" and have kept this channel hidden for the most part. There's not much on the page and its mediocre quality at best. Nevertheless I hope to continue posting better quality work in the near future. As of now this page is very inactive but I hope to muscle up the courage to continue again soon.
Cinematography
The saying "Life is like a movie" is one I encounter so frequently that it often feels quite true. I've found myself often recording moments of my life I find worthy of lasting forever. In an attempt to share of my life to the public I plan on dedicating a website towards my perspective through the growing 55,216 photos and videos on my phone.
RUN!
I wouldn't consider myself a runner per se, but I very much enjoy running. Especially over summer when you don't have to deal with the brutal New England winter. Every stride feels like a win; it definitely felt like a win to complete a half-marathon I was never initially training for. I just had more and more in me after every run. Yes, the run was slow, but as they say its not the speed but the endurance!
Most physical activities, I find, stimulate the mind in a way Academia simply cannot.
Music
Truth be told, any medium which incites positive emotion deeply interests me as I've previously stated. That being said, music definitely wins the race. From EDM in the fifth grade through all my musical phases in the years, I've found music to be therapeutic to say the least. Its ability to send all types of emotional waves through my neurons fascinates me. I pride myself in my playlists, ask me for some!
I am also dabbling with beat making which I plan on incorporating into my cinematography website
Throughout the Fall and Spring semesters of 2023-2024, I bought an $83 no brand camera from Amazon and shot footage (438GB worth) for a documentary I am now editing. Due to privacy reasons for those involved, I won't be publishing it publicly. Perhaps I will make a featured short film and get the necessary permissions to publish here. But imagine Project X meets The Blair Witch Project and it all takes place on a college campus. That's the vibe I am going for. I remember watching these two movies and being so disappointed to find out they were not real and fully scripted. This is what inspired me to do this, to give something real, true and uncut. I hope to finish editing by Spring 2025.
