apropos

Hi! I’m JJ. I go by apropos (among other names) on the Internet.

I’m a fourth-year student at the University of British Columbia, flag hunter for Maple Bacon, mathematics, linguistics, and type theory aficionado, total language nerd, and occasional ultimate frisbee player.

Outside of school, sports, and social life, I enjoy building and contributing to free-and-open-source projects. The majority of my work can either be found on GitHub or here on my website.

research

I am particularly interested in language and its relation to meaning.
This manifests itself in various different fashions in different fields.

I am actively looking for a research position on this topic, to start Sep. 2025. If you know a professor who is hiring students or interns for any of the above, please send me an email!
