About

Hi, I'm Peixian.

Currently:

• Senior software engineer at Sleeper.
• Doing anthropology on religion in conflict, specifically Iraq.
• Learning Spanish

My full-time job is writing Elixir. My part-time job is doing research on religion in conflict and post-conflict zones, mostly focused on Shi'a Islam in south Iraq. I did my MA at NYU about Shi'a clerics in Karbala. In undergrad, I did my bachelors in computational astrophysics at UIUC. In my free time, I'll write about various topics or be cycling around somewhere.

I also speak English, Mandarin, Iraqi Arabic.
