Self-studying math and physics since 2024
Biography
In 2024, I began my journey of self-study of Math and Physics, in parallel with working my full-time job in tech. My current interests lie in differential and integral calculus, and the exploration of cosmology related to black holes, gravitational waves, and other astrophysical phenomena.
My love for physics began when reading Parallel Universes by Fred Alan Wolf as a teen. A lifelong sci-fi fan, I couldn’t believe that modern physics embodies the wildest of theories, and I was deeply fascinated to learn more. My affinity for quantum phenomena grew even stronger throughout my years spent working, until finally, I couldn’t wait any longer.
My ethos is to live life with resilience and curiosity. Most importantly, no one inspires me more than my 12-year-old son.
