2012 - Unsolicited thank-you card from a former Rhodes Scholar I had as an LSAT student

...

A short film I made for a "Directing For the Camera" class in college is one of my professor's favorite student films and the first one she showed at a presentation

This is four years after I took the course, and it was the first film she chose to show in an exhibition of six of her student films:

[I'm referred to by my Argentinian name, Pablo Moretto]

The first film was made by former student Pablo Moretto. The shots of the film were taken mostly from afar and they showed a man walking through the woods. During these shots there was a narrator describing, in first-person narrative, some of the adventures that he had in Maine.

• "You did a really nice job on the [application to work at our hedge fund]." - Spencer Greenberg, head of Rebellion Research, which uses machine learning (linear algebra) to value invest like Warren Buffett. He has been featured in a book ("Dark Pools") and in the media (eg the Economist, CNBC, etc.).
  • If you're interested in seeing my responses to his application (along with the application questions), let me know. I've taken my responses offline at Spencer's request to prevent people from copying my answers. [If you're curious, I didn't get the job I was applying for because I needed more programming experience. He told me to contact him in a year or two.]

They are super helpful for those that aren't present in the office for the discussions and have helped me immensely in learning about products+roadmap without having to bug Nikhil/Sean/Nate/JM/Yang. Thanks Nathan !!!..... for taking the time to record, organize, and distribute these to the team. You going above and beyond to catalog the internal knowledge that is shared does not go un-noticed."

• "I have 100 books that I have referred to throughout my life to revisit the learned principles of other great men and women. However, I can’t find the time to read or energy to focus as my head is solving 19 other problems in the back of my head and my bandwidth is gone.
