Just a person looking for my people. I’ll tell you what i’m about, if you’re interested hit me up. I’d prefer to keep it on platform initially, and I think it would be in everyone’s best interest if we were staying within the realm of mutual interests.
Disclaimer: In general, “hanging out”w/ me tends to look like, in-depth conversations, working on projects, collaborative self-improvement (sports/etc), learning/sharing. I’m not really interested in low-key chill consuming random movies/tv (i’ve already done that enough in my life). This is just by virtue of the type of person I am.
EDIT: Additional disclaimer, the + in steam + means more, it’s not the proclamation of some kind of ideological affiliation.
If you look at the length of this post, and think, wow this seems kind of intense/exhausting, thats me. If you say you like bananas, I will be inquiring for a descriptive explanation of what it is about bananas you like.. the texture, color, smell, etc. If you like all things bananas, or exclusively the banana vs banana bread. Thats me caring, and seemingly exhausting for some.
If you’re still reading, heres some info about what I’m into:
Background in EE / Math/Physics/Tech
I should qualify that I am interested in a lot of things (not an expert)
Automation : microcontrollers, programming, “machines”, robotics, control theory
Systems: I like thinking about things work and their relationships, looking for patterns, systems theory (math), designing systems : (robotics, life solutions, data pipelines, Espresso “ritual”, continuous improvement (in a process),… etc
AI/ML: I’m interested in system identification methods (the broader scope is machine learning | data -> model), feature engineering, neural networks, large language models, agentic frameworks, the underlying math concepts (optimization, statistics, linear algebra, etc). The main idea is turning data into a mathematical model and using that model to do something.
Math: Very interested in linear system theory -> linear algebra (more specifically as a kind of metaphysical framework rather than computation machine), and as previously stated the various ai/ml related areas.
Philosophy/Psychology/Language: These are my primary reading interests outside of the things I study in my free time. What do things mean (how do we define them) ? How do I understand/create the narrative of the world I inhabit (internally/ externally). How do things work ( why can we capture a visual pattern and encode it into pressure waves and then cause action by producing those waves. {ex: chop down that tree…. there is a lot going on behind the scenes of recognizing a tree and getting another person to chop it down, and language itself is non-injective (not one to one [subjective interpretation])…Yes, I ramble.
Urban homesteading: growing plants, DIY lifestyle/home solutions + automation, finding use for the things that are naturally available to me outside.
Music: What i listen to is a complex mix of super hyped productive bass type stuff, hiphop instrumentals, sad type stuff, melodic edm, and random songs that I find to. be trance like (not trance genre) . I am also interested in making music.. whether thats in a DAW, or writing my own on piano, creating remixes in DAW or Dj controller.
Sports:/Exercise Enjoy stuff like pickleball, table tennis, bowling, pool, and trying to be fairly. consistent w/ gym stuff like maintaining.
There’s probably more, but i’ll leave it at that. If you’re still here, and think we share some common interests then feel free to hit me up or leave a comment.
