Non-technical interests

• Poker: I played professionally almost entirely online from 2008-2013 and 2020 quarantine has gotten me more excited about playing in the future
• Photography: I will eventually post photos on this website
• Hiking: I’ve done a few long hikes in Israel – the Golan Trail, Sovev Machtesh Ramon, and the Israel Trail
• Cycling: I participated in the 2016 Tour d’Afrique ride from Cairo to Cape Town
• Languages: Working on Hebrew, French, and Arabic. Native English gradually degrading as I study the others.
• Effective Altruism: I think it’s valuable to give to highly effective charities like GiveDirectly so have committed to giving at least 10% per year through the Giving What We Can pledge.
