Howdy!

I'm Rainier (pronounced ray-near, like the mountain), he/him, ScM CS '28. This is my first semester at Brown! I'm interested in the intersection of policy and technology, and am always eager to learn and do more in that realm if you have projects.

Quick Facts:

• I was born in Seattle, WA, grew up in Minnesota, and did my undergrad in Dallas, TX. I'm not sure which one of those is the appropriate answer to "where are you from?" at this juncture.
• I've had work published in five different colligiate papers. So far, this is my favorite non-fiction piece, my favorite satire piece, my favorite breaking news graphic, my favorite overall graphic, and my favorite food review that includes a recounting of a free speech case. 
• I like to create KenKens in my free time.
• I'm currently running a small social experiement in the CIT lounge. Now that you've read this, if you've pieced it together, you're in on this too and I'll ask you not to spoil it.

If you want to see exactly one more piece of my work, then I drew the cat below. You're welcome to stare at him as long as you want. 

This is a cat. You can say hi to him.
