About Me

I'm Brian, a software engineer and CS grad student. Outside of that, I love to practice photography.I enjoy the process of taking a subject that everyone can see and showing it through a unique perspective that conveys a feeling or experience. I cook entirely gluten-free at home and am slowly building a physical recipe collection. I like the feeling of holding a recipe in my hand, especially ones that have been passed down. I'm curious about most things, and I try to pay attention.
