I started working at 24. I'm now 32.
Already, I've taken 2 career "breaks" to learn new things.
I'm often asked: wait, how?!
Here's a list of reasons to take these breaks yourself.
And tips and tricks for pulling it off.
🧵
🚨 Excited to share my recent paper: "Monopoly Deal: A Benchmark Environment for Bounded One-Sided Response Games."
Card games have long served as benchmarks for sequential decision-making under uncertainty — from Poker and Hanabi to Magic: The Gathering. This paper introduces a version of Monopoly Deal designed to study a less-explored interaction pattern, where an action briefly transfers control to the opponent for a bounded sequence of responses.
We show that standard Counterfactual Regret Minimization (CFR) adapts cleanly to this structure, and share a lightweight research environment that integrates the game engine, parallel CFR runtime, and web-based interface — all runnable on a single workstation.

Fun facts: I also grew up on a street that starts with W in a town that starts with W
Do I get the W on W’s?

omw to #ethdenver 🌄 and excited to see everyone
DM's open if you want to talk about anything @gauntlet_xyz - DeFi optimization/risk mgmt, governance, incentives, and/or the best breakfast burritos
when companies hire me, they get the best of me bc of @jkao23. i work harder, run faster, and jump higher b/c of him.
he’s thoughtful, kind, and wickedly good with numbers; and now, i am proud to say he is the CFO of @gauntlet_xyz
let’s keep updating the system together 🤝
ecosystem incentives can be a powerful mechanism for 1) bootstrapping 2) growth 3) creating self-sustainability
if done incorrectly, it can be detrimental to all of the above
@MoonbeamNetwork recognizes this and we're excited to support their next leg of sustainable growth!
