<h3>Hi, I'm Adrian.</h3>
</header>
<p>
I was born in Hong Kong and lived there for 18 years. I
attended the <a href="http://www.cis.edu.hk/">Chinese
International School</a>, graduating with a bilingual
diploma from the International Baccalaureate. I learned to
love passionate food, healthy habits, and pictures of
jumping people.
</p>
<p>
I graduated from <a href="http://www.swarthmore.edu/">
Swarthmore College</a> in June 2015, double majoring in
Physics and Computer Science. After spending the summer
backpacking — one month in Western Europe, one in
Japan, and a couple of days back home in Hong Kong to
recuperate — I moved out to the Bay Area to work at
<a href="http://nest.com">Nest</a>, where I was offered a
full-time position on the heels of a fruitful internship.
</p>
<p>
Currently in my fourth month as a full-time adult, I work
on the Algorithms team for the <a href="https://nest.com/thermostat/meet-nest-thermostat/">Nest Learning Thermostat
</a>.
We're responsible for designing, prototyping, and
iterating on the features that allow our devices to
provide a delightful and magical user experience. For
instance, our team is responsible for the machine learning
algorithms that allow us to learn a user's preferences
just from how they interact with the device, so that we
can save them energy and money while keeping them
comfortable. Working at a Google-backed company with
startup-esque autonomy and agility is a fantastic blend
of the two worlds.
</p>
<p>
I love learning that many things in nature can be described and explained with mathematics, and I have a passion for developing flexible, extensible, <strong>useful</strong> tools. I hope to explore, understand, and hopefully solve real-world problems using math, code, and a good-natured desire to learn a little more about everything. I'd also like to help make the world run on fusion energy, and to develop an AI that passes the (unrestricted) Turing Test and sasses harder than a J.A.R.V.I.S.-GLaDOS tag team, but I'm trying to take things slowly.
</p>
<p>When I'm not working, I play volleyball, practice
aikido, and enjoy the sun; I cook less than I eat, I start
more books than I finish, and I look for
<a href="http://www.soundcloud.com/adrian-wan">music</a>
that I can play on repeat. I like breakfasts, memorable
poems, and brightly-lit tables big enough to spread all
my thoughts on. </p>
