Hi, your comment really resonates with me. I pursued playing beach volleyball in the US at a professional level for several years, and though I was never a top-10 US player, I could hang/train with them and had a few good pro tournament results. During this time, I was a software engineer at Google and then a research engineer at DeepMind.

I get excited when I hear about people that go _deep_ into a hobby while doing their careers; it is hard, but absolutely worth it. Would love to chat more if you're interested!
