Looking for a partner in crime.

I work as a Cloud Automation Engineer (and Developer) for a Cloud Services company in Midtown Manhattan.

Eldest son of 4, 2 brothers and a sister. Moved here from Pakistan 20 years back.
Pretty religious in the practice and spiritual side, but not in a traditional desi image of a religious person sense.  "Moderate" in the spectrum of belief in the interpretation of religious jurisprudence.

I can often be found, looking up something I am curious about, researching something random,  experimenting with some wacky code/project/idea/algorithm/data, or making puns and writing song parodies. 

I am a rather passionate person and you can find me rather fond of Science/Math, Logic, Tech, Linguistics, History, Evidence-based Policy, gaming, Casual Table Top gaming(especially D&D and Warhammer 40k), and all sorts of good quality fiction design and novels, manga, anime and literature from several mediums and several cultures. I also really like thinking about complicated issues and reveling in their complexities and variables; getting into the nitty-gritty technical details and enjoying overcoming the barriers of common misconceptions of those topics.

Curiosity fills me to the brim, causing me to thoroughly enjoy getting my biases getting crushed, information gaps filled, and my incorrect ideas being corrected (with proper logic and methodology, and without getting demeaned and dehumanized of course.) 

What I look for in my partner:
-Can enjoy puns and even partake in them, if not now, then later on
-Can enjoy sarcasm and satire, and potentially even partake in it
-Enjoys cuisine from more than one country/culture and likes to try new things, maybe even ACQUIRE new tastes.
-Someone who is relatively religious and always seeks to improve their practice
-Open mind

Dealbreakers:
- Someone who thinks whatever race they are, makes them more superior or trustworthy etc
- Someone who very stiff and not affectionate
- Someone who is not openminded.
- Someone who doesn't hold family important
