Hi, I’m Asa

Welcome to my website! I’m an undergraduate student at MIT interested in robotics and computer systems.

Currently, I’m working on the autonomous racing subteam of MIT Motorsports. We’re developing a self driving racecar to compete in the upcoming Formula SAE driverless challenge.

I spend too much of my free time thinking about/working on Nix and NixOS. Hopefully more blog posts on this soon…

Previously, I worked on

• humanoid robot teleoperation at persona.ai.
• competitive robots on high school FRC team 1155.

Also,

• unix was a mistake.
• plain text is a pervasive and terrible evil.

Some recent things I wrote
