Hi, I'm Zodi.
I'm an early-stage investor and engineer living in San Francisco.
I spend way too much time on Wikipedia and doing flashcards. If you want to know me, drop a line or come to a homework dinner. Talk to me about terraforming, my special interests, or whatever makes you tick.
I think about this quote sometimes:
"You’d better get busy, though, buddy. The goddamn sands run out on you every time you turn around. I know what I’m talking about. You’re lucky if you get time to sneeze in this goddamn phenomenal world."
