I'm a computer professor in the business school of a university in the Rocky Mountain area.I get summers off. I want to visit SoCal or FL for 3 months during summer 2017 to learn surfing (I'm a young-at-heart, very physically active male 44 year old, never married, no kids). During that stay, I'd like to work for a start-up or some such. Don't need pay, but sweat equity and a place to crash would be yuuuuuge. My ideal schedule will be to surf 4 hours a day, and spend 8 hours a day working at the start-up. I consider myself well-versed in human communication, cognitive biases, UI/UX design, pricing, coaching. I'm well read. My regular reads (and YouTube and Twitter addictions) include: - Hacker News
- Nassim Taleb
- Daniel Kahneman
- Marc Andreessen
- Paul Graham (Y Combinator)
- Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert)
- Derek Sivers
I'm huge into hacking "learning." I've studied Spanish (Pimsleur Level IV and Michel Thomas Foundation) and French (Pimsleur Level I and Michel Thomas Foundation), and am fluent in English and Hindi. I have a PhD, and hope to do a J.D. one day. Good cook, regular meditator. Originally from India, I have my green card, and expect to have citizenship in mid-June. |
