Introduction

Welcome to my space!

This place is all about me and my interests. My interests span across AI Safety, NLP with Deep Learning, Information Theory, Computer Systems, and Philosophy.

You'll often find me trying to fathom research papers, writing model optimization loops from scratch like a masochist, or "discovering" wacky frameworks to understand something which was already quite simple to understand.

I am an avid speedcuber and Minecrafter. I like learning about optimization techniques for Minecraft and related development. I also pride myself on being a Pokémon nerd.

"You can literally pick an arbitrary thing and I think if you spend 10,000 hours of deliberate effort and work, you will actually become an expert at it."

"A full-stop is too small to stop a sentence, but the sentence still stops because the last word fears the capital letter on the other side."
- Sanyam Asthana, a random thought before sleeping
