<aside> 👋 Hi there! I’m Kevin Xu. I’m studied computer science and cognitive science at the University of Michigan. (Go Blue!) 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> ⏳ In my free time, I most enjoy chasing sunsets with my camera, discovering internet essays and podcasts, and pebble wrestling.

<aside> 💡 Lately, I’ve been inspired by Richard Hamming, Carl Sagan, Seth Godin, Simon Sinek, Alex Honnold and others.

Update: 1/27/2025
Finished up undergrad a few weeks ago. Figuring out what to do next. Particularly interested in early teams working on problems in the physical world. Filling my free time reading and working on some personal projects.
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! 😁
