| 87 | + A systems thinker, Tatiana's love extends beyond computer language to human languages. Specifically, Tatiana is fascinated by language structures and discovering unexpected patterns, like when seemingly disconnected languages share the same word because of antiquated trade routes. A full-stack linguist, Tatiana can say a few words in many languages, express much in far fewer, and otherwise is not embarassed to try. Tatiana would rather look like a fool if it means being in connection with someone. |
