This site contains my personal blog.

It’s a place for my thoughts, reflections, and short snippets of code to demonstrate my ideas.
Structurally, it’s a series of letters with helpful advice to my younger self.

This site is built with fastpages, an easy to use blogging platform with extra features for Jupyter Notebooks.
