About Me
I'm a former physics student who found a great passion in the elegance of code. After spending years learning about the secrets and intricacies of the Universe, I found that building digital experiences offers a completely different kind of intellectual satisfaction.
From relativity to React hooks, I approach both physics and programming with the same relentless curiosity and systematic thinking.
It is my firm belief that the best software, like the best physics, is born from asking the right questions, embracing uncertainty, and building elegant solutions with the appropriate tools.

"The true horror of existence is not the certainty of death, nor the threat of hell, but the knowledge that we will likely go our entire lives as impossibly complex machines, walking about in an impossibly complex universe, and never truly discover what it was all for. "I don't know" is brave, "I'll never know" is heroic."
— Lord Lepus, in "Geometry for Ocelots" by Exurb1a
