Who I Am
I'm currently a data and systems engineer working at Strata Research . I've worked on lots of bits and pieces but specialize in numerical programming and its various applications in industry. Previously, I've worked in an HPC lab in the University of Waterloo developing algorithms in parallel C++ code with Open MPI for fluid simulations.
About the Blog
I began working on this blog site at the start of 2022 as a way to channel my passion for teaching into a hobby project of mine. The topics are loosely centered around my technical interests: high performance computing (HPC), optimization methods, differential equations and more. Some examples of my previous work includes solving Navier-Stokes on a non-regular 3D grid, testing novel optimization methods in machine learning and Category theory.
I'm also a passionate open-source advocate and contributor (you can actually find the source code for this website on Gitlab). Outside of technical interests, I'm also a big F1 fan (Ricciardo/McLaren all the way) and enjoy powerlifting.
How I Built This
This website was entirely built by yours truly. Stop it you, with your common sense; this isn't github pages, Hugo, 11ty or any other templating static site generator. Instead, I chose to use Astro as the framework base. The CSS and design are done with TailwindCSS and the CMS is an orchestra of Astro's content tools, MDX, remark & rehype plugins, Katex for the math equations and Fontsource for the fonts.
As always, you can find the source code online through my Gitlab profile. If you have any comments or feedback feel free to open an issue on the repo or contact me through my socials below.
