I'm a self-taught programmer. I taught myself calculus from books at 14, Lagrangian mechanics at 16, and wrote my first line of code at 11. I've been programming in C and Python for years, and now I'm all in on Zig — it's the closest thing to a language that actually respects the programmer. Unfortunately the self-taught label gets taken from me in 2 years when I finish college.

I build plast (a deep learning engine in C/CUDA) and glu (a robotics communication framework in Zig). I want to build a new software stack for robotics from the ground up — no bloat, no abstractions that leak, no corporate rot. I work on infra and research for real AGI with world models and deep learning.

This blog is an archive of my journey to becoming a great engineer in the robotics space — or failing badly trying. Philosophy, principles, tech opinions, and incomplete shit.

My favorite novel is 1984. I listen to rap and rock & roll.
