About me

Hey readers (whoever you may be), this is Alexander Joo writing! Chances are, if you're here, you either know me, know of me, or read something I wrote somewhere else. So, welcome to my zone.

I'm a native of Chicago and Seoul, now living in and loving Seattle. More so than kimchi, I live, breathe, and bleed tech, and I consider my life calling to improve the world and peoples' lives with the blessings of human technology. Other things I identify with:

- Naperville!
- University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign!!!!
- Neuroscience/specifically, brain-computer interfaces.
- CouchSurfing
- Ford, Mercury, Scion, and Saab.
- Race/gender relations, and fighting stereotypes, prejudice, bias across the world.
- Encouraging self-critical thinking; especially to the Korean hive-mind across the pond.
- Engineering outreach, particularly to underrepresented minorities (like women), and disillusioned visionaries.
- Gaming; specifically, RTS / FPS, on CONSOLE ftw!
- And a couple more things...

If I'm not sitting in my office, you may find me in my car, exploring the city, on a snowboard, travelling, or on a couch, etc.

If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please feel free to email me at me@skyrien.com. I will read and/or respond accordingly. Take care, and do have a nice day. =)
