<aside> 👋 Hi there! I’m Kevin Xu. I’m studying computer science and cognitive science at the University of Michigan. I’m extremely interested in how technology might help address humanity-level challenges, fascinated with how culture and ideas spread, and practically optimistic about the future.

<aside> 💡 I’m inspired by Seth Godin, Simon Sinek, James Clear, Shane Parrish, and others.

<aside> ⏳ In my free time, I most enjoy chasing sunsets with my camera, discovering internet essays and podcasts, and pebble wrestling.

Update: 5/29/2025
Chilling in the suburbs of Chicago before I head off to SF for the summer, where I’ll be interning at Crusoe! Spending time working on personal projects, climbing, traveling, and catching up with hometown friends.
Want to chat? So do I. Would love to hear your thoughts about startups, climate, photography, applied rationality, or anything you’re interested in, really. Hit me up! 😁
