The purpose of this website is to encourage me to write and think clearly, to share things I find interesting, and to present who I am. This isn’t a blog; it’s a living space of content where I am continually adding, refining, and refactoring as needed.

As a technical person, I have evolved a CTRL methodology: Create, Think, Research, and Learn. Spending time in each of these 4 modes helps progress at every scale - from playing with tiny puzzles and problems, investigating ad hoc ideas, working on personal or commercial projects, and continuing to expand and develop long-standing interests.

While geniune originality is neither my primary goal nor a likely outcome, it must be original to me and synthesised with clarity. The factors I value most are:

• Rigorous academic understanding: Validated by writing full explanations, addressing the “why” as much as the “what”.
• Tangible output: Experimental results, algorithms, code, tools, visualisations, papers, etc.
• Refined intuition: Distilled, enlightening, and persuasive insights.
• Overarching connecting themes: Linking seemingly diverse topics to generate new tools, techniques, and understanding.

I remain alert for possible commercial opportunities. However, I’ve reached a stage in my life where this is less important, raising the threshold needed to pique my interest and time.

Publishing in this form is a new endeavor. I am working my way through a backlog of notes compiled over decades, finding my voice by writing up some solutions to recreational maths problems, documenting my computer setup, and explaining the building and maintaining of this website.
