Powerlifting Princeton
Powerlifting at Princeton gave Kevin a parallel scoring system: plates on the bar, not lines of code, with a crew that tracked meets the way Hoagie tracks deploys.

The social layer crossed into work. In November 2025 Nicky told the HackPrinceton team Kevin was busy with a powerlifting meet Friday/Saturday and needed to stay on call, without Kevin asking her to broadcast it. Source: Nicky He When he placed 3rd, she congratulated him from Sunil's Instagram story before he reported results himself.
Kevin and Nicky also share Dogpatch Boulders 2-3 times per week as a routine. Source: Kevin Liu Climbing and powerlifting are not the same sport, but they share the same identity function: physical proof that progress is measurable.
The wiki stub still awaits Kevin's voice on SBD totals and programming. Source: Princeton Powerlifting This story page captures the relational and career texture until those numbers land.
