about me (the lights)

hey! i’m andrew and since watching the matrix i’ve been charmed by tech.

i like the movie serendipity: it’s pretty boggling (and invaluable in a way) that the tiniest changes in the past could have meant such a different future. so i enjoy going out to bakeries on a whim, running in central park, or yapping with friends at nighttime.

i’ve been nostalgic for san diego, south korea, and currently cherish the nooks & crannies of new york city.
