Hey, my name is Roger, I'm a junior studying EECS at UC Berkeley. I'm currently building and learning across robotics, defi and intelligent systems. I also head the engineering department at Blockchain at Berkeley, the oldest collegiate blockchain club in North America.

The best advice I've been given is to have an irrational amount of confidence in your ability to figure things out. You don't need to know exactly how you're going to get somewhere before deciding that you want to go there. The important thing is to keep moving forward and trusting that you'll eventually converge.

I recently finished reading The Count of Monte Cristo. What surprisingly moved me most about the book was the passage of time. We spend so much of our lives pursuing things that exist somewhere in the future, without knowing what they will mean to us when we finally get there. I find that deeply beautiful, but unsettling.

My biggest dream is to see humanity flourish beyond planet Earth. There is something extraordinarily inspiring about the thought that this small planet could be the beginning of something that eventually permeates the cosmos. That life, intelligence, culture, and everything else we create here could one day spread far beyond the place where it began.
