Evan Tian
I think occasionally.
Currently an undergraduate studying Computer Science and Mathematics at Georgia Tech, interested in all things technical and analytical. More broadly, I'm drawn to anything that challenges me to think in new or unconventional ways. And so, fittingly, I also enjoy puzzles, board games, and card games, especially the NYT games and crosswords, Scrabble, MTG, and 升级.
