He finds it surprisingly delightful to take little walks around his neighborhood, currently in Washington, DC, listening to power ballads and folk songs.

Q&A with Katriel

Q: If you could choose anyone famous (real or fictional) to have dinner with who would they be and why?

Narendra Modi - he'd be a phenomenal contact to have for this work.

Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A linguist.

Q: If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you? No one would watch that movie, so I hope they'd save money by getting an AI to play me!
