Hey everyone! I’m currently a grad student working towards my MSc in Data Science—I did my undergrads in Comp Sci and Mathematics though!

I’m a long-time Python programmer, but I’ve recently been moving on to Rust (which I absolutely adore way more than I ever imagined) and Haskell, and I’m eyeing Scala somewhat longingly. I really enjoy building backend systems and packages, especially stuff that can be used by the FOSS community! And I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for implementing academic-oriented stuff when I can.

One of my biggest guilty-pleasures is in computational logics—in my short PhD stint, I took a course on this and was absolutely enamored! I love learning about different logics and thinking about their applications to concepts, and I really really enjoy the process of drawing out logic proofs. Still haven’t grasped logic programming though—just never wants to fit into my mental model just right. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Long-winded, but hey! It’s me!

Hey! I hope one day I can delve into more comp sci/backend technologies. It interests me so much, but it is a little harder for me to get good at. I look forward to what you have to share :)
