From a mere failing child to where I stand today, I believe I have come a long way. If you are someone who knew me before 10th grade, you would probably be shocked to see this, right? Me having a blog and an upcoming portfolio website? "The Michelin Man-looking kid has come a long way," you might say (or is that what I think?). But that's what life is like: you were someone else a few months or years ago, and today you are someone new. We change, preferably for good outcomes or to become a better human being.
Since my inception, I have not known what I want to do. Sometimes I feel like I want to be an actor, sometimes a pilot, or sometimes a diplomat. The field I am currently in wasn't on my bucket list for sure, but I guess my indecisiveness made this field the golden choice. Yeah, it is Engineering. But even in engineering, I don't know what I want to do. I sometimes feel I should have been in mechatronics, and sometimes ECE. But then I feel like that's just how it is for me: being constantly indecisive about my career. This time, however, I thought, why just think? Why not do? So, sometimes you might find me tinkering with electronic components (if they are not too costly).
I don't know how I am as a human being. Some think I am too practical (the most I have heard), some think I am too straight-forward, and then some think I am possessive? But these are all just what people think.
I identify strongly as a Pragmatic Tinkerer, a worldview that governs how I approach everything from a neural network to a 5-day gym split. I see a world that is essentially a series of complex, often broken systems—where mental health is chronically underserved, digital tools are frequently misused, and the path to 'Right Understanding' is clouded by noise and delusion.
And yet, I am not a paralyzed theorist or a cynical observer. I am a Rational Optimist who believes that through logic and relentless iteration, any system—whether it’s a quadruped robot or my own physical limits—can be dismantled, understood, and rebuilt into something better.
This blog might serve as what I become. The whole idea of making this was: I like to write, so why not just publish it in a blog format. A good friend of mine said why not just publish it in some reputable place, but the whole feeling of posting it on my own website isn't there. It's a different feeling when I write on my own website.
That's the intro. I hope you like the blogs that will be coming. See ya.
SOON
