This is a place that stores and presents various non-professional projects and information of mine. It is meant to serve as an alphabetical "archive" of select personal things I have done or am doing, updated irregularly as time allows. Given the nature of my interests, this page will contain a wide variety of content and never be fully complete.

LEGO

Updated 14 Jul 2026

Since childhood, I have been drawn to LEGO's most intricate, complex sets—scale models, specifically. With time, I have only developed greater admiration for the nature of LEGO's system and the abilities of those who design within it. LEGO models are buildable, fully modular works of art capable of capturing both the form and core functions of their original counterparts.

Below are six of my favorite LEGO sets, arranged left-to-right, top-to-bottom from oldest (2011) to newest (2026).

LEGO 8110 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 400 (2011)
LEGO 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V (2017)
LEGO 42143 Ferrari Daytona SP3 (2022)
LEGO 42146 Liebherr Crawler Crane LR 13000 (2023)
LEGO 10318 Concorde (2023)
LEGO 21061 Notre-Dame de Paris (2024)

Reading

Updated 6 Jul 2026

Having grown up entirely in a digital world, I feel that physical books are more important now than ever. Digital devices have become powerful and essential, yet dangerously addictive. It is up to us to recognize this and make a conscious effort to nurture interest in activities that challenge and develop us as human beings.

Below are eight of my favorite books.

Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power 
			of Sleep and Dreams (Matthew Walker, 2017)
I Who Have Never Known Men (Jacqueline 
			Harpman, 1995; translated by Ros Schwartz, 1997; afterword by Sophie Mackintosh, 2019)
Meditations: The Annotated 
			Edition (Marcus Aurelius, 170–180 CE; translated and edited by Robin Waterfield, 2021)
Notes from Underground (Fyodor 
			Dostoevsky, 1864; translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, 1993)
An Army at Dawn: The War in North 
			Africa, 1942–1943 (Rick Atkinson, 2002; Volume One of the Liberation Trilogy)
The Brothers Karamazov (Fyodor 
			Dostoevsky, 1880; translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, 1990)
Unbroken: A World War II Story 
			of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption (Laura Hillenbrand, 2010)
Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, 
			and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen (Christopher McDougall, 2009)

Running

Updated 11 Jul 2026

Many years ago, just a few days after my 13th birthday, I started running to improve my mile time as part of the BSA Personal Fitness merit badge. As it happened, I improved, came to enjoy the activity, joined my high school's cross country team, and remained forever invested.

In August of 2025, after having spent much more time road biking than running over the previous year, I felt a strong desire to bring running back into my routine. So, I challenged myself by starting a running streak, following a carefully devised low-mileage plan to minimize my risk of injury.

My streak statistics appear in the table below.
