About

Hi, I'm Peixian.

Currently:

• Senior software engineer at Sleeper.
• Part-time master's student at the Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies @ NYU.

My full-time job is writing Elixir. My part-time job is writing my thesis on Shiism and pilgrimage. In undergrad, I did my bachelors in computational astrophysics at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. In my free time, I'll write about various topics or be cycling around somewhere.

I'm interested in:

• distributed systems
• central banking
• silly bounds in machine learning
• language and its role in shaping thought

I also speak English, Mandarin, and Iraqi Arabic.
