I am a software engineer at [Klaviyo](https://www.klaviyo.com/) (we're hiring!). On the side, I consult on a few projects and have experience in the healthcare, consumer and data-analytics spaces. I have worked on behalf of some of the top Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) players in the world and am the author of [DraftFast](https://github.com/BenBrostoff/draftfast), GitHub's most starred open-source DFS optimization library.

Professionally, I mostly work in Python and JavaScript (server and client-side). I care deeply about improving as a programmer and am always looking for opportunities to learn something new.

Waitzkin is the rare dual-sport athlete who, after winning nearly every conceivable junior chess award and rising to International Master, retired and became world champion in an entirely different sport which he had no previous experience in (Tai Chi Push Hands). This book is not so much <i>how</i> as it is an exploration of <i>why</i> reaching optimal states and deep learning matter.
