I usually describe myself as an engineer; that's basically what I've been doing since I was a kid.

My background educationally is physics and economics, and I grew up in sort of an engineering environment - my father is an electromechanical engineer. And so there were lots of engineery things around me.

I've been to Disneyland, like, 10 times. I'm getting really tired of Disneyland.

I think that's the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.

I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better.

To make an embarrassing admission, I like video games. That's what got me into software engineering when I was a kid. I wanted to make money so I could buy a better computer to play better video games - nothing like saving the world.
