Chess, Curiosity & Creative Tinkering
Outside of code and research, I find joy in pursuits that sharpen the mind and broaden perspective. Chess has been the longest companion — a game of infinite depth. Building random side projects, reading widely, and exploring ideas at the intersection of tech and humanity keeps me energized.

Deep Dive
Chess
I have been playing chess competitively since school. I love studying classical games, opening theory, and endgame technique. Chess taught me patience, long-term planning, and the beauty of elegant solutions — skills I directly apply to software architecture.
Side Projects
I regularly build small projects just for fun: CLI tools, browser extensions, quick automations. These explorations keep my problem-solving instincts sharp and often spark ideas that become real features.
History Nerd
I am fascinated by ancient civilizations, the rise of empires, and lessons that history offers to the modern world. Understanding patterns from the past profoundly influences how I think about technology's impact on society.
Tech Exploration
Whether it is quantum computing, neuro-interfaces, or decentralized systems — I love staying ahead of the curve. I dedicate time each week to reading papers, watching tech talks, and experimenting with emerging tools.
