As I have not finished my draft for this page, here's some context as to who I am: I am a 31 year old programmer. I have no formal training or education (I dropped out of the 7th grade). I started programming at around 10 years old after developing an interest in building my own videos games and started my career at 15 years old as an humble PHP developer for very crappy websites, and grinded my way to more interesting jobs over time. A couple years ago, I joined a company that had (and still has!) some very interesting problems and a couple of hundred million of users. There, I have been working on distributed services across a plethora of domains, with a focus in 2022-2024 on building an event-driven fleet of systems to power product research and runtime experimentations. Ever since, I mostly work on whatever is important that can help the company in ways that would also, hopefully, help the users.
Most of my time is spent hanging out with my dog and partner, reading and programming. I might occasionally enjoy the eventual military or flight simulator. Mostly, I am trying to become a person I would like to be like. A lot of that involves circling back to my very shaky education and formalizing a lot of it.
Recently (2023-ongoing), my interests have gravitated towards:
- Machine Learning (models, theories, intepretability, reinforcement learning)
- Computational and theoretical CS (foundations of computation, uncomputability, theories of computation, PLs and compilers)
- Mathematics (where I am trying to both solidify my fundamentals but also play with abstract algebra in general)
- All the usual "programming land" things e.g system programming, computer architecture, etc.
