About
My name's Parsa, and I'm a 19 year old from London, England. Currently I'm at Google as a Software Engineering Apprentice, working on the Web via Chrome for Android.
This page is intended to paint a picture of the type of person I am, so if anything on here resonates with you, don't hesitate to reach out on either Twitter, Discord (parsa#1055) or Email (hi@parsam.io).
Fitness
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable - Socrates (more or less)
- Currently training 4-5 days a week, mostly focusing on strength and hypertrophy with the occasional cardio. I'm slowly transitioning away from the Bro Split to a modified version of Push/Pull/Legs.
- My current Bench Press PR is 100kg. I'm certain it can be 110kg when I learn to leg drive effectively.
Supplements
- Creatine Monohydrate (daily)
- Whey Protein (daily)
- Multivitamin (daily)

- Open source projects. It's fascinating that random people all over the internet are able to come together to change the world.
- Reading books on my Kindle Paperwhite.
- Mechanical keyboards. I use a keyboard daily, so it makes sense for me to invest in tools that inspire me to use them more.
- Typing, especially via tests on monkeytype. My personal record is currently 133 wpm.
- Mechanical watches and G-Shock's. I own a Seiko SNZG13K1 and a G-Shock GA-B2100-1A1. I love how boringly beautiful they are, which makes me feel good wearing them.
- Vi keybinds, I can't live without them as it simply makes interacting with the computer a joy.
- Consuming informational content at 2x speed. Video Speed Controller has completely changed the way I watch videos. And yes, I watch other stuff at normal speed, I'm not a psycho.
