♠︎ Wanna try something fun? ♛

Do you like board games? I love them, especially the card game Gongzhu. Here’s my Gongzhu AI. Let’s see if you can defeat my AI!

I’m always happy to play a thoughtful game of Go, Shogi, or Chess. Feel free to send a challenge—I’d be delighted to connect over a game.

I’m also really into language learning and linguistics—there’s something so fun about seeing how different languages shape the way people think. If you ever send me an email, feel free to greet me in your mother tongue! I’d love that—it makes things feel more personal and is such a nice way to connect!
