I serve as the Communications Chair for the [UChicago Alumni Club of the Bay Area](https://alumniandfriends.uchicago.edu/s/community?clubGroupName=Alumni+Club+of+the+Bay+Area) and recently started a [blog](https://www.austin-lai.com/blog "mention") on my website called *The Developer's Pen*.&#x20;

On the weekend, you'll find me at a rugby match on Treasure Island, grocery shopping at Whole Foods, or sweating it out at Barry's or Flagship in the Castro.&#x20;

You can contact me at `austinlai.97@gmail.com` or check out my [GitHub](https://github.com/alai97) and [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-lai/).&#x20;
