Research & Writing

An engineer on paper, but a curious learner at heart. I studied engineering because I was fascinated by the idea of being able to solve big problems. Along the way, I realized that solving those problems often requires more than just engineering - it’s only one piece of the puzzle, and sometimes not even the first step.

In my free time, I like to chase curiosity wherever it leads. This page is my way of sharing those explorations; writing down opinions on the topics I dive into, while also giving myself a space to reflect.

* This page is a work in progress and will feature more posts soon.
