About Me

Hi there, and welcome to my site!

When I was little, I couldn't really decide on what I wanted to be when I grew up.  Nor did I realize that such a thing didn't need to be decided as a child. But, in 6th grade, I learned about the Renaissance.  I finally decided that what I wanted to be was a "Renaissance man," or someone who is adept at many different skills and fields of knowledge.

Fast forward to 2019 and 2020, when I finally realized I needed and wanted a true relationship with God.  I became a Christian during my senior year at Rutgers, and my whole perspective on life and the world changed -- in an unfathomably good way.  All glory to God!

Now, I am still trying to apply the gifts that God gave me to serve Him.  This site is representative of the many interests that I have, and it also shows the diverse things I've worked on.  This site is also a way for me to keep track of my varied projects so that I can remember to finish all the things I've started.

Looking retrospectively at my life, I see that what remains consistent is that: I'm a creative, passionate, curious individual who values honesty on top of all other values.  I'm always interested in how things work, and I enjoy learning about other perspectives and approaches to issues.  I enjoy doing work that has a positive impact, even if it's just in one tiny corner of the world.

Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to contact me at eric.mao@live.com.  I look forward to the conversation!
