FAQ
On security
I'll want you to be there with me the entire time, for your peace of mind as well as to teach the most possible.
But should you be busy, I'll set up the camera of my second phone on a tripod behind me and record everything I do and make the video available to you
Any personal information encountered during the session remains confidential, and no copies of any personal data are retained after the session is completed.
More about Xeon
Beyond being a math and CS undergrad, and doing research at MIT:
Growing up, I worked at my parent's hotel 'til I was 18 doing every job under the sun: Manager, Front Desk, Maintenance, Gardener, Breakfast Cook, and as a Housekeeper. At the time I also did speech and debate for years, having debated in 195+ matches and once being ranked as 25th in the nation for speech and debate.
Upon entering college, I wished to spend my time wisely to actually learn and improve myself, beyond my formal education. So I set out to learn how to think and to go to the limits of thought. I studied a lot of cognitive psychology, behavioral economics, and philosophy [Book reviews]. I also ended up studying ancient religious scriptures of the world's religions. Texts I read included the Bible, the Tanakh, the Quran, The Analects of Confucius, Chaung Tzu, Tao Te Ching, Dhammapada, Ramayana, Bhagavad Gita, Mahabharata, and the Upanishads.
Nowadays I spend most of my time working on personal projects related to my research, reading textbooks for fun or doing hip hop and contemporary dance. I listen to music a lot (I am one of those Spotify connoisseurs). And sometimes you might see me talking to myself in front of a whiteboard, ehe. I'm quite into economics and technical philosophy; my research revolves around real world game theoretic actions and classifying every decision possible
Real talk
Your computer, phone, and internet are the most important tools part of your life. You probably realize how dependent you are on them for both your work and entertainment. They are the one thing that have the power to improve your life most. So it makes sense you should know every little way you can use them to your advantage.
Besides personalizing to you, a key thing is that I can show things you would never be exposed to even if you tried. Things simply out of your circle. Similar to how I'm completely out of the know on matters of health and medicine, or niche legal technicalities of things.
Another way to view the benefits is whether I can save you at least 10 hours out of 8,784 hours in a year. To which the answer is a definitive yes ツ. By mastering hidden features of your tech you can boost your efficiency and save yourself hours every week. I estimate I can save you the equivalent of 2,196 hours or 3 months of time, or at least improve your life overall by 25%.
Give me the chance to turn you into a tech wizard yourself, capable of running circles around others with tech. I believe I can make you closer to a hacker, programmer, coder, software engineer, data scientist, or computer scientist simply by virtue of the various tools and tricks we use in our trade. Including:
- Improving your existing setup or tools that you use in your personal life or workflow.
- Best of the internet, including systematic approaches to online information sources, online news sources, finance tools (there are a lot more than one can imagine, yet people really should know about), and social media analysis and discovery tools for various platforms.
- How to approach privacy and torrenting.
- Adding unknown but useful Chrome extensions and scripts.
- How to systematically better use AI chatbots such as ChatGPT Claude, Perplexity, etc.
- Demonstrating the variety and types of digital note-taking (I'm a copious typer).
- Showing the variety of ways spreadsheets can be used, or how to implement such in your life and workflow.
- Managing your email inbox by setting up forwarding addresses or automated filters and message templates.
- Teaching some email marketing.
- Macros, scripts, and keyboard shortcuts which can be added to your workflow.
- Smart home recommendations.
- Alternative task managers and time tracking (as I've tested them all out and have notes on different ones), or at least better practices for such.
- Phone apps and widgets.
- Adding laptop software you might desire but couldn't install, or might not have known of.
- Physical hardware and setup/ergonomics recommendations.
- Remote desktop uses.
- Setting up automations I can create for your work, as well as generally setting up your phone, website, or computer.
