Hlo, I am an ML engineer and computer programmer currently living in Bangalore India with my partner, unnu, and my two cats.
This document tries to work as an about me page but does so by taking a longer route. There are multiple evolving pages under this that cover various aspects in more details. Most of these are incomplete and will take shape with time.
I am interested in technology at large and wonder about its impact on human subjective experiences. My path to understand this more is to study and work on life, intelligence, and languages. I find these to be the most impressive technologies that I am aware of. Each item in that list upgrades the previous in a non-essential but beautiful way. I have not contributed much in these areas but I try to work towards them.
Here are a few annotations on portions of this wiki that make sense under an about page:
- Firstly the essentials: Go here for my project portfolio and here for contact information.
- Here are some notes on my education and employment status.
- Ever since I started programming seriously, I have been in love with Emacs. Or
maybe it's the other way around since most of my growth as a programmer
happened because of it. I am a heavy Emacs user and you might have seen some
of my work around in the community. Few notes are here, also check out blogs
and journal posts with
emacstag. My Emacs based projects can be found here. - I am working towards building a personal philosophy of life to make sense of the chaos around. Some portions of that are exposed on this website in form of values and various blog posts. Broadly I believe creating and appreciating beauty is the ultimate pursuit, though there are more details to this which I am figuring out.
- My research publications can be found here. Although I have always wanted to, I have not spent a good amount of time on pure research so this list might not be super interesting.
- I like well designed entities of all kind. I am also very interested in data and information visualization. Here is a small portfolio.
- Working on many and diverse projects have made me realize the importance of prioritization and productivity in general. That has taken me deep into a rabbit hole where I have formed some views.
- I have a love for analog and slow systems that work at a human pace. One of those things is fountain pens and writing.
- I have read a few books and want to read many more. Here is where I keep my readings and notes.
- Some notes on talks that I have given.
- I love food and cook wherever I can. Here are a few notes.
Other than that, you can go to the top navigation bar and find some other prose split across blog, journal, and this wiki.
