I’m an applied mathematician passionate about neuroscience, probability, stochastic processes, machine learning, and software engineering. This blog is my space to share ideas, explore concepts, and document the things that inspire me.
Here, you’ll find posts ranging from thought-provoking insights and practical lessons I’ve learned to summaries of books, articles, and projects I’m working on. It’s a collection of the ideas and discoveries that spark my curiosity—and a way to reflect and share how I think and work.
